Namibia’s offshore story has moved from “discovery hype” to concrete timelines—first oil is expected between late 2029 and early 2030, with Shell’s Graff/La Rona likely leading the way.

The article also models production by year, compares Namibia’s longer seven‑year discovery‑to‑production cycle to Guyana and Ghana, and outlines when different investor types might want to buy—now, at FID, or at first oil—depending on risk appetite and holding period.
