About this episode

The episode features ReconAfrica CEO Brian Reinsborough discussing the company's exploration efforts and future opportunities in Namibia and Angola.

Namibia has been in the headlines for its giant offshore discoveries, which have opened up a wealth of opportunities in the region. But in 2025, ReconAfrica made the country's first onshore discovery, persevering with an exploration campaign that proves that if you trust in the geology, you might just find what you're looking for. ReconAfrica CEO Brian Reinsborough joins hosts Hill Vaden and Sam Humphreys live at CERAWeek 2026 to discuss the company's upcoming production tests and future opportunities in Namibia and Angola.
