Environmental Scoping Report Volume 1. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report Volume 2. Environmental Management Plan (EMP) Report Volume 3. Proposed Petroleum (Oil and Gas) Exploration Operations (Drilling of Stratigraphic Wells) in Petroleum Exploration License (PEL) 73 Covering Blocks 1719, 1720, 1721, 1819, 1820 and 1821, Etosha Basin, Kavango West and East Regions, northern Namibia. The proponent intent to start with two (2) wells and if the results are positive, additional wells may be drilled. A standard single well site for conventional onshore oil or gas drilling will typically affect a surface area measuring 150 m by 150 m. The well site will typically hold the drilling rig and additional equipment along with supervisory accommodation and material storage. Once drilling is completed the affected area will be reclaimed to minimise surface disturbance. To prepare for initial drilling, the access road and well site/s may require vegetation clearing, levelling, if necessary, with a bulldozer and/or grader / labour-based option if manpower exists with the local area, with careful consideration given to sensitivities of the receiving environment including: not cutting down of larger trees and protected flora as well as being on a look out for possible unexploded ordinances that may be buried. The scale and duration of site preparation is site-specific and may last for few hours to a couple of days depending on the length of the access or size of the site to be prepared. The likely key sources of negative environmental (physical, biological and socioeconomic/cultural/ archaeological) impacts can be divided into two (2) main categories and these are: (1) Routine and physical presence operational activities: (i) Pre-construction and drilling requirements; (ii) Construction; (iii) Mobilisation; (iv) Spudding and Conductor casing; (v) Drilling surface / intermediate and setting casing and cementing process through up 900m; (vi) Drilling and continuous coring from 900 meters (2953’) to 1900 meters (6234’); (vii) Drilling below 1900 meters to total depth, estimated at 2500 meters (+/-8202’); (viii) Plug and abandon hole; (ix) Rehabilitate all surface disturbances and clear the site of any debris, and; (x) Camp removal, site closure / abandonment. (2) Unplanned accidental events: (i) Major land accidental incidence such as diesel / oil spill / fire / explosion.
