Canadian junior ReconAfrica is within two weeks of spudding a closely watched wildcat onshore Namibia.
This initial probe will be the first in a two-well exploration campaign in the frontier Kavango basin the company will drill using its own Jarvie 1 rig.
Brian Reinsborough, President and CEO commented: “We have completed all the camp, rig and equipment moves and are in the process of rigging up in anticipation of a July 7, 2024 spud date for the high impact Naingopo exploration well. Operationally, things remain busy on site with well site construction and mobilization activities being completed in line with our expected scheduling. Additionally, field operations teams are mobilizing ahead of the start of well pad construction activities for Prospect P planned to being in the next month. This prospect is expected to spud immediately after completion of the Naingopo exploration well.”
