What's Happening?
Reconnaissance Energy Africa Ltd. (ReconAfrica) is advancing its drilling operations at the Kavango West 1X exploration well in Namibia's Damara Fold Belt. The company has set its final casing string at a depth of approximately 2,300 meters and is drilling towards the Otavi carbonate reservoir. The well is testing a large structural closure within the Otavi section, with total depth expected to be reached by November. ReconAfrica plans to conduct a comprehensive logging program upon completion.
