Tuesday, 18 July 2023 14:38
During its latest media briefing in early June, ReconAfrica revealed the progress of its exploration work in Namibia's Kavango Basin.
On July 12, ReconAfrica provided an update on its petroleum and gas exploration activities in Namibia's Kavango Basin. The Canadian company, already involved in exploration in the region, has been authorized by the Namibian Ministry of Environment, Forestry, and Tourism to drill 12 more exploration wells in Petroleum Exploration License (PEL) 73. The latter is located in the northeastern part of the country.
The company plans to carry out these activities between July 2023 and July 2026. The primary objective of the project is to identify potentially exploitable petroleum and gas deposits. "The management is currently focusing on developing and prioritizing its inventory of prospects to execute a multi-well drilling program targeting the two primary zones: the Damara fold belt and the Karoo rift basin," the company stated.
