ReconAfrica produces natural gas to surface from Kavango West 1X well in Namibia

  • Reconnaissance Energy Africa produced natural gas to surface during flow tests at the Kavango West 1X discovery well in onshore Namibia.
  • Gas flowed on three tests from the upper Elandshoek zone; the well flowed about 24 hours total, with intermittent liquids; peak tubing pressure reached 2,300 psi.
  • Accurate flow rates were not measured due to equipment limits; about eight liters of hydrocarbon samples were collected for U.S. lab analysis.
  • Testing shifted to three Huttenberg zones covering 182 meters of reservoir, including 76 net meters of pay; next update targeted for late August.
  • Work is being evaluated on a horizontal or deviated sidetrack to improve access to natural fractures and lift productivity.
