ReconAfrica advances Kavango West 1X well toward Otavi reservoir, results expected by year-end

Reconnaissance Energy Africa or ReconAfrica CEO Brian Reinsborough joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the company’s Kavango West 1X exploration well, which officially spudded in July 2025. Drilling has now advanced into the 8.5-inch hole section at a depth of approximately 1,910 metres. Reinsborough explained that the next step in the drilling program will be the installation of the final casing string at roughly 2,400 metres, after which the drill bit will enter the Otavi reservoir zone—the primary exploration target of the Damara Fold Belt Play. The company anticipates intersecting this critical zone in October 2025. The drilling program is designed to penetrate approximately 1,500 metres of the Otavi reservoir section, with the well expected to reach total depth (TD) between 3,800 and 4,250 metres by the end of November 2025. According to Reinsborough, this will allow for a thorough evaluation of the reservoir interval and the potential for a major petroleum system in the region. ReconAfrica has confirmed it will provide periodic drilling updates through news releases as the program progresses. Final well results are expected to be released around year-end, marking a significant milestone in the company’s ongoing exploration efforts in Namibia. #proactiveinvestors #reconnaissanceenergyafricaltd #tsxv #reco #otcqx #recaf #NamibiaOil #ProspectI #OilExploration #EnergyUpdate #OnshoreDrilling #OilAndGasNews #AfricanEnergy #OilDiscovery #EnergyInvesting #OilExploration #NamibiaOil #EnergyInvesting #KavangoBasin #BrianReinsborough #OilAndGas #InvestorUpdate #ProactiveInvestors #AngolaEnergy
