Invictus Energy makes gas discovery in Zimbabwe
Invictus Energy, an Australia-listed oil and gas exploration company, announced on December 7 a gas discovery in the Mukuyu-2 well at its Cabora Bassa project in Zimbabwe.
“The Mukuyu-2 discovery, 7 km away and 450 meters updip of the Mukuyu-1 well, which can subsequently be classified as a discovery, provides confirmation of the large potential of the Mukuyu field which has a structural closure of over 200 km2,” managing director Scott Macmillan said.
“With additional hydrocarbon bearing reservoirs ahead, the focus now is to complete the drilling and evaluation program and obtain further wireline data including fluid samples to declare an additional discovery from the Lower Angwa formation,” he added.
This discovery is expected to have positive implications for other prospects and leads within Invictus' extensive acreage position in the Cabora Bassa basin. The Cabora Bassa project, operated and 80% owned by Invictus, encompasses the Mzarabani and Msasa gas and condensate prospects.
