ReconAfrica Set to Drill Landmark Well in Namibia’s Kavango Basin

ReconAfrica, a Canadian oil and gas company, is poised to ignite exploration fever in Namibia with the imminent drilling of its first well in the Kavango Basin. This long-awaited wildcat well, dubbed Naingopo, is expected to spud within the next two weeks, marking a historic moment for the frontier basin.

The Naingopo well shoulders the hopes of many as it represents the first test of the Kavango Basin’s hydrocarbon potential. ReconAfrica has secured its own Jarvie 1 rig for this crucial two-well exploration campaign, underlining their commitment to unlocking the basin’s secrets.

This drilling program is not just about finding oil and gas; it’s about Namibia’s economic future. A significant discovery could be a game-changer, attracting further investment and propelling Namibia onto the global energy scene. The Sundays Times will be closely following developments as ReconAfrica embarks on this exciting exploration odyssey.
