"Yes, there is potential for petroleum in the Damara Fold Belt and Kavango Rift Basin in the Kalahari Desert.
The Canadian oil and gas company ReconAfrica is exploring the area for oil and natural gas.
Evidence of petroleum
Gas seeps: ReconAfrica has found active gas seeps that contain thermogenic hydrocarbons, which are part of an active petroleum system
Core samples: Core samples from drilled wells have shown liquid hydrocarbons
Seismic data: Seismic data has identified carbonate reservoir rocks with oil shows
Geochemical data: Geochemical data has shown the potential for large oil and natural gas accumulations
Exploration
ReconAfrica has drilled test wells in the area
ReconAfrica has plans to drill more wells in the area
ReconAfrica has identified multiple oil and natural gas reservoirs in the area
Challenges
There is no certainty that any of the resources will be discovered
There is no certainty that any discovered resources will be commercially viable"
