Namibia Geodatabase: the most comprehensive E&P database for the Namibian offshore
In a game-changing development for the global oil and gas industry, the once-overlooked Namibian offshore region is now at the forefront of attention, thanks to recent monumental discoveries in the deep and ultra-deep waters of the Orange Basin. The confirmation of overcharged active petroleum systems has spurred unprecedented interest in the area.
Stepping into this new frontier is renowned Ph.D. geologist and visionary businessman Marcio Rocha Mello, CEO of Brazil Petrostudies. With a wealth of experience leading high-quality oil and gas exploration studies across Latin America and West Africa, Dr. Mello unveils an unparalleled resource for industry professionals—the Namibia Geodatabase.
The Namibia Geodatabase is cutting-edge, cloud-based software designed to facilitate easy access to comprehensive data on Namibia’s offshore basins. With just a click of a mouse, users gain access to a treasure trove of over 1,000 pieces of information, including Namibia’s Sedimentary Basins, Fields, Exploration Blocks, Operators reports, Seismic Lines, Petroleum Systems, Oil and Rock Geochemistry, Composite Logs, Bio/Chrono Stratigraphy, Oil Slicks, and Public Offshore and Onshore Wells. Also, BPS software and proprietary data and knowledge allow the full interpretation and mapping of seismic data and their integration with gravimetric–magnetometric and petroleum system elements and processes studies, allowing, using a seismic imaging software, the user to visualize all the seismic 2D- and 3D-lines available (SEG Y mode) and correlate them to all geological and geochemical data present in the Namibia Geodatabase.

The BPS proprietary Composite Petroleum System Log brings together all well information, involving not only data but also interpretation of all the elements and processes of the petroleum system approach.
Dr. Mello’s intimate familiarity with the region is evident through his prior successes. The company he founded (HRT, now PRIO) was the first to find liquid hydrocarbons in Namibia Offshore with the Wingat-1 and Murombe-1 wells in the Walvis Basin.
“During the period in which I served as Chairman & CEO of HRT Petroleum, we led the pioneering drilling of the first three wells in deep waters in the Walvis and Orange Basins, Namibia. More importantly, it was the historic oil discoveries in 2013, through the Wingat-1 and Murombe-1 wells in the Walvis Basin, that shattered the gas paradigm that existed for over 40 years, paving the way for recent gigantic discoveries. This historical connection that I have with Namibia strengthened my commitment to contribute to the responsible development of this resource that can bring about positive socio-economic impacts for the people of Namibia, providing job opportunities, infrastructure development, and potentially boosting the nation’s overall prosperity. The historical and geological ties that connect Brazil and West African countries, such as Angola, Namibia, and South Africa, for example, are undeniable. In addition to sharing the same petroleum systems, Namibia’s untapped oil potential represents a lucrative opportunity for investors willing to explore new frontiers. With promising geological formations and a stable political environment, the country holds the promise of significant returns for those bold enough to seize the opportunity.”, says Dr. Mello.
