Highlights

  • Reconnaissance Energy Africa Ltd completed drilling at the Naingopo well in Namibia’s Damara Fold Belt.
  • Evaluation processes include wireline logging, coring, and MDT sampling to assess reservoir characteristics.
  • The Kambundu prospect, set for drilling in January, is anticipated to follow Naingopo's evaluation.

Reconnaissance Energy Africa Ltd (TSXV:RECO) has reached a significant milestone with the completion of drilling at its Naingopo exploration well in Namibia's Damara Fold Belt. The well was drilled to a depth significantly exceeding initial plans, demonstrating the company’s commitment to exploring the region’s hydrocarbon potential.

Evaluation of the Naingopo well is set to include comprehensive techniques such as wireline logging and Modular Formation Dynamics Tester (MDT) sampling. These steps are essential to understanding fluid properties and reservoir potential, positioning the well for future operations.

Key Assessment Processes

ReconAfrica has planned an extensive evaluation phase for the Naingopo well. Techniques like Vertical Seismic Profile (VSP) and coring will support the assessment, focusing on reservoir characteristics and fluid dynamics. These steps aim to provide critical insights into the region’s hydrocarbon prospects.

Once the evaluation is complete, the well will be cased, preserving its integrity for future exploration or production activities. These efforts aim to confirm the presence of significant hydrocarbon resources in the Damara Fold Belt.

Future Drilling at Kambundu Prospect

ReconAfrica is preparing to shift its Jarvie-1 rig to the Kambundu prospect, with drilling planned to commence early in the upcoming year. This prospect is reported to hold higher resource estimates compared to Naingopo, further strengthening the exploration program.

The outcomes from the Naingopo evaluation are expected to guide operational strategies at Kambundu. These developments highlight the company’s focused approach toward maximizing exploration opportunities within the region.
