ReconAfrica Confirms Hydrocarbon Flow in Namibia's Kavango West Project

ReconAfrica has made significant progress in its Kavango West project in Namibia, confirming that two of six zones at the Kavango West 1X (KW1X) discovery well can flow hydrocarbons to surface.

The company, which holds a 90% working interest in the project with partners BW Energy and NAMCOR, brought natural gas and potential liquids to the surface from two KW1X zones without any acid stimulation. The upper Huttenberg interval flowed immediately after perforation, and the previously reported Upper Elandshoek interval also flowed.

'We are excited to report another critical milestone of the KW1X production test,' said President and Chief Executive Officer Brian Reinsborough. 'This time from the uppermost zone of the Huttenberg formation.'
