On Jan. 15, Sintana Energy Inc. provided an update regarding the operations associated with the Kapana 1-X exploration well located on Block 2813B, which is governed by PEL 90 and operated by Harmattan Energy, an indirect subsidiary of Chevron.
Chevron’s recent Kapana 1-X exploration well offshore Namibia did not encounter commercial hydrocarbons, according to Sintana Energy on Jan. 15.
Sintana has an indirect interest in PEL 90 in the Orange Basin via its 49% shareholding in Custos Energy, which in turn owns one of the license partners, Trago Energy.
The well, operated by Chevron subsidiary Harmattan Energy, reached total depth ahead of schedule.
Sintana said the operation did provide information on key aspects of the basin and increased confidence in the planned future program on PEL 90.
"The US oil producer said the well called Kapana 1-X in the PEL 90 block provided valuable information about the basin, and the company anticipated it would explore further in Namibia," according to a recent Reuters report.
