en.Wedoany.com Reported - Canada's ReconAfrica has set a 5-inch production liner in the Kavango West 1X discovery well in Namibia and plans to initiate perforation and production testing on six hydrocarbon-bearing zones from early to mid-May. The test intervals span the Elandshoek and Huttenberg formations, covering approximately 420 meters of hydrocarbon-saturated sections, with individual zone thicknesses ranging from 45 to 75 meters.

Zone testing will proceed sequentially from the deepest to the shallowest zone. Each zone test cycle will last up to 10 days, with the entire testing phase expected to be completed around the end of June. ReconAfrica is simultaneously advancing preparations for a subsequent appraisal well, located approximately 3 to 4 kilometers southeast of the Kavango West 1X discovery well. A successful appraisal well would support resource booking and provide a basis for a final investment decision.

In Gabon, ReconAfrica has received all original seismic tapes and has begun reprocessing 3D seismic data for the Loba oil field discovery area and an additional 400 square kilometers. The reinterpretation work utilizes pre-stack depth migration and full waveform inversion technologies, with final data delivery anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2026. ReconAfrica operates the Ngulu block and holds a 55% working interest.
