Reconnaissance Energy Focuses on Namibian Exploration Strategy
Reconnaissance Energy Africa Ltd. (ReconAfrica) outlines its corporate strategy centered on its Namibian assets, particularly the Damara Fold Belt and Rift Basin encompassed within Petroleum Exploration Licence 073 (PEL 73). The company aims to leverage the potential of these regions for oil and natural gas exploration, anticipating that successful discovery wells will provide critical production test data. This data is vital for assessing the commercial viability of the anticipated resources, which include oil, natural gas liquids, and natural gas. Despite the lack of existing oil and gas production infrastructure in northeast Namibia, the region's infrastructure is deemed adequate for exploration activities.
ReconAfrica's exploration strategy aligns with its goal of local power generation through Gas-To-Power technologies. The initial commercialization approach is supported by the main transmission grid that runs across PEL 73, presenting a promising avenue for energy development in the region. A Prospective Resource Report by Netherland, Sewell C Associates, Inc. (NSAI) reinforces the company's optimistic outlook, indicating substantial potential. The report estimates resource volumes based on a 100% working interest, with ownership allocations set at 70% for ReconAfrica, 20% for BW Energy Ltd., and 10% for NAMCOR, effective January 2025.
The company is set to engage in high-impact exploration, with plans to drill significant wells in Q2 2025 while holding approximately 13.3 million acres in concessions. This extensive portfolio allows for a multi-well drilling strategy, further enhancing its operational capabilities. Alongside this, ReconAfrica announces new leadership appointments, including a CEO and General Counsel, who are expected to bolster corporate governance and performance. The firm emphasizes its commitment to an industry-recognized Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) program, marking a significant step towards responsible resource development.
In addition to its exploration efforts, ReconAfrica's strategy highlights its engagement in corporate governance, which is crucial for sustainable development and community relations. The company is poised to make significant strides in the Namibian energy sector, focusing on responsible exploration and potential commercialization of its resources.
The company also prepares for its participation in the upcoming EnerCom Denver – The Energy Investment Conference, an event that will showcase various sectors within the energy industry. This participation provides ReconAfrica with an opportunity to connect with investors and industry leaders, further enhancing its visibility and fostering relationships crucial for its development strategy.
