Prospective Resources Disclosure
With respect to the Company's Namibian assets, as the Damara Fold Belt is a prospective resource and the first potential production in Petroleum Exploration Licence 073 ("PEL 73"), an evaluation of commercialization will await a successful discovery well to provide critical production test data, including rates and pressures. Based on reservoir studies, including samples, core, well log analysis, and internal Company estimates, the production is expected to be a combination of oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas, and the reservoir is expected to be a conventional reservoir system.
With respect to the Company's Namibian assets, as the Rift Basin is a prospective resource and the first potential production in PEL 73, an evaluation of commercialization will await a successful discovery well to provide critical production test data, including rates and pressures. Based on reservoir studies, including samples, core, well log analysis, and internal Company estimates, the production is expected to be oil with some potential gas and gas liquids, and the reservoir is expected to be a conventional reservoir system.
Regarding infrastructure, this area of northeast Namibia has good overall infrastructure, including transportation, communications and services. There is no oil or gas production infrastructure at this time. There is a very strong market for local power generation for Namibia and for all of southern Africa. Conceptually, Gas-To-Power technologies are expected to be the initial commercialization approach, and the main transmission grid for the region crosses PEL 73. It is premature at this time to estimate total cost and time to achieve commercial production.
The Prospective Resource Report prepared by Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. ("NSAI"), an independent qualified reserves evaluator, entitled "Estimates of Prospective Resource to the Reconnaissance Energy Africa Ltd. Interest in Certain Prospects and Leads located in PEL 73, Kavango Basin, Namibia as of March 31,2024" (the "NSAI Report"). The NSAI Report was filed on SEDAR+ on July 29, 2024, under the "Other" document type. Volumes represent sum of prospective oil and or natural gas resources for prospects on a 100% working interest basis. The working interest ownership in PEL 73 effective January 2025 is ReconAfrica 70%, BW Energy Ltd. 20% and NAMCOR 10%.
