ReconAfrica confirms hydrocarbon pay at Kavango West 1X well in Namibia

Reconnaissance Energy Africa or ReconAfrica CEO Brian Reinsborough joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the results from the company’s Kavango West 1X exploration well, located on Petroleum Exploration Licence 73 in onshore Namibia. The well delivered encouraging results, encountering approximately 400 metres of gross hydrocarbon-bearing section within the Otavi carbonate interval, as identified by wireline logging data. Reinsborough told Proactive that detailed evaluation of the logs confirms 64 net metres of hydrocarbon pay, supported by both wireline interpretation and strong mud log anomalies. In addition, the company identified a further 61 metres (approximately 200 feet) of hydrocarbon shows in deeper intervals. These zones are interpreted to contain naturally fractured limestone reservoirs, a geological feature that could significantly enhance the flow potential and overall deliverability of hydrocarbons. Following these positive results, ReconAfrica’s forward program will now focus on comprehensive well testing to establish commercial flow rates from the most prospective intervals. The company will proceed with testing due to the strong indications of hydrocarbon-saturated reservoirs across multiple zones, based on the combined evidence from wireline logs, oil and gas shows, and interpreted natural fracture systems within the limestone units. A production test is planned to evaluate the deliverability characteristics of the key intervals within the Otavi carbonate section. The test will be conducted using 5-inch production casing and Tubing-Conveyed Perforations (TCP), allowing the company to selectively perforate specific pay zones. These selections will be based on intervals where hydrocarbon pay has been confirmed on wireline logs and where the most significant oil and gas shows were observed. Reinsborough noted that the upcoming testing phase represents an important next step in determining the commercial potential of the Kavango West 1X well and further advancing ReconAfrica’s exploration efforts across the broader Kavango Basin in Namibia. #proactiveinvestors #reconnaissanceenergyafricaltd #tsxv #reco #otcqx #recaf #NamibiaOil #ProspectI #OilExploration #EnergyUpdate #OnshoreDrilling #OilAndGasNews #AfricanEnergy #OilDiscovery #EnergyInvesting #OilExploration #NamibiaOil #EnergyInvesting #KavangoBasin #BrianReinsborough #OilAndGas #InvestorUpdate #ProactiveInvestors #AngolaEnergy
