Halliburton has opened four bases in Namibia to support offshore oil and gas projects. These facilities, located in Windhoek, Walvis Bay, Swakopmund, and Lüderitz, will offer a range of services, including drilling, testing, and cementing. The bases cover 22,000 m² and will create over 200 jobs, half of which will be for women.
The company aims to help Namibia achieve its goal of first oil production from the TotalEnergies and Shell-operated fields by 2029. Minister of Energy and Mines, Tom Alweendo, highlighted that the bases reflect Namibia’s commitment to operational excellence and in-country value creation.
Other companies are expanding their operations in Namibia as well. Mediterranean Shipping Company plans to invest up to $43 million by 2030, focusing on logistics for oil and renewable energy projects. Africa Global Logistics has also signed agreements to strengthen its presence in the country.
Namibia has become a key location for global oil and gas investments, with major discoveries in both offshore and onshore basins. Companies like Chevron, Azule Energy, and Petrobras are expanding their operations, and Namibia is poised for more major oil discoveries.
