Reconnaissance Energy Africa Ltd. is a Canada-based oil and gas company. The Company is engaged in the opening of Kavango Sedimentary Basin in the Kalahari Desert of northeastern Namibia and northwestern Botswana. It holds 90% interest in a petroleum exploration license in northeast Namibia and a 100% interest in petroleum exploration rights in northwest Botswana over the entire Kavango Sedimentary Basin. The Company's exploration license covers an area of approximately 25,341.33 square kilometers (6.3 million acres) and 8,990 km2 (2.2 million acres) in Botswana. The two licenses together comprise 34,325 sq km (8.5 million acres). Its conventional drilling program is focused on analyzing the rocks to determine if there is a working petroleum system in the Kavango Basin.

RE:One more question for Turntotheright

RE:One more question for TurntotherightSo the characteristics of a particular formation can change over large areas, but generally they are relatively consistent (i.e a shale is a shale and doesn't magically become a sand stone, although certain characteristics of a shale may change slightly, like porosity or permeability, but likely not materially). However what can change over a drastically short distance/area is the depth at which a formation is at. Faults (and uplifts? Help me out here geos) can cause the same formation to be at very different depths over small distances, and can produce areas where formations generally not commercially viable can be produced. So don't rule out a complete bust if the 2 wells are dusters (but it wouldn't look too good). But until results are released, I would assume everything is normal. Also, if the cores and logs were complete garbage I don't know why RECO would spend on seismic. We don't know anything though until we hear about core and log analysis, and then the seismic to further tie in the findings.

If you want to know just how chaotic faults can make things, go look into the "Devils's cigarette lighter", faults in the area essentially caused a formation to come in much higher than anticipated and produced one heck of a booming well.
