Reconnaissance Energy Africa announces results at Kavango West 1X well

Reconnaissance Energy Africa (RECAF) announced the results of the Kavango West 1X well located on Petroleum Exploration Licence 73, onshore Namibia. Highlights of Kavango West 1X well: The well encountered ~400 metres of gross hydrocarbon section identified on wireline logs in the Otavi carbonate section. The well encountered 64 net metres of hydrocarbon pay, verified by wireline logs and supported by mud log anomalies. An additional 61 metres of hydrocarbon shows identified in the deeper sections, where interpreted natural fractures in the limestone reservoir occur. The Company plans to production test Kavango West 1X in the first quarter of 2026. Brian Reinsborough, President & CEO, commented: “ReconAfrica is excited to announce that the Kavango West 1X well has encountered hydrocarbon pay in the Otavi reservoir section. The results from this well have allowed the Company to proceed to a success case evaluation, which includes conducting a production test of prospective intervals to determine deliverability characteristics from the well. We are excited about what the results mean for the future of the Damara Fold Belt play on ReconAfrica’s lease position onshore Namibia which covers over six million prospective acres. I am also very proud of the ReconAfrica team who drilled this well safely, on schedule and on budget with strong local stakeholder engagement.”
