Reconnaissance Energy Exploratory Planned in Namibia’s Kavango Basin
Drilling Activity Details
Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Reconnaissance Energy Africa plans to drill an exploratory well in the Kavango Basin in the Kalahari Desert portion in Namibia. The well, #6-2, will be the first of a three-well drilling program intended to confirm an active, Permian aged, petroleum system in the basin. Core data and logging operations will be focused on conventional oil and gas reservoirs, which flow naturally under their own pressure. The venture will be in exploration license PEL 73, which covers the entire Kavango sedimentary basin (approximately 25,341 sq km). Reconnaissance Energy has a 25-year production license. The Kavango Basin has both large scale conventional and non-conventional play types. The Vancouver, British Colombia-based company acquired a high resolution geomagnetic survey of the license area including reprocessing and reinterpretation of all existing geological and geophysical data. Reconnaissance Energy holds a 100% interest in PEL 73 and in a nearby petroleum license, PEL 001/2020 in northwest Botswana, which comprises an area of approximately 9,921 sq km.
