What happens when we design infrastructure for people, not just places? In Turkana, #Kenya, the A1 Road project brought more than just connectivity—it delivered schools, health centers, clean water, and hope: https://t.co/ZdOUzhOLyg #EndPoverty

Shell faces US$400 million loss on unviable Namibia oil discovery

Shell has announced that it will write off $400 million related to an oil discovery offshore Namibia, declaring the project commercially unviable.

This decision is a setback for Namibia, which had high hopes of becoming an oil-producing nation.

The oil giant revealed that resources found in block PEL39, located offshore Namibia, "cannot currently be confirmed for commercial development."

Shell, along with its partners QatarEnergy and Namibia’s national oil company, had discovered hydrocarbons in this block back in 2022.

A nice chart by Adrian Gläser of @cirrus_capital showing the corporate tax rates across Africa.

The very high rate in Namibia has a direct impact on the survival of new and small businesses, and thus on job creation (thus youth unemployment), innovation, growth and inclusion.

Over 90 Namibians will be awarded scholarships to pursue their master's degrees in areas related to the synthetic fuels industry. https://t.co/9ET8S1J99e
