Drilling Activity Details
Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Reconnaissance Energy Africa announced preliminary analysis of the data from and onshore Namibia well, #6-2, the first of a three well drilling program in the Kavango Sedimentary Basin in the Kalahari Desert. The well logs indicate more than 200 m of oil and gas indicators/shows over three discrete intervals in a stacked sequence of reservoir and source rock in a Permian petroleum system in the Karoo Group. According to the company, the intervals penetrated include highly porous, permeable sediments and marine source rocks and an extensive marine carbonate lithofacies. Mud gas results indicate a high BTU gas with the presence of light oil in numerous cutting samples. London-based Reconnaissance Energy holds a 90% interest in a petroleum exploration license PEL 73 and 100% interest in a petroleum license PEL 001/2020 in northwestern Botswana.
