Geo Associates has confirmed gas, light oil, condensate and helium deposits in Muzarabani, Mines and Mining Development Minister Zhemu Soda has said.
GeoAssociates is the licence holder of the special grant 4571 where the gas discovery has been confirmed.
Australia Stock Exchange-listed Invictus Energy holds 80 percent of GeoAssociates while the balance is owned by the indigenous group, One Gas Resources.
Speaking at a press conference in Harare on Monday, 04 March, Soda said that exploration activities in Muzarabani have resulted in further discoveries of gas, condensate, helium, and hydrogen. He said (<a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/gas-oil-discovery-changes-energy-game/">via The Herald</a>):
<blockquote>
Today we are here to make further announcements about the exploration activities that continue to happen in Muzarabani.
We are pleased to announce that from the 11 samples that were extracted, Geo Associates reported to Government yesterday that they made further discoveries of gas, condensate, helium, and hydrogen.
The hydrogen which they discovered does not contain hydrogen sulphide which is an undesirable constituent of our petroleum products and there is potential from the light oil which was discovered to be beneficiated to produce diesel, petrol and Jet A1.
This is a huge step in the realisation of our Vision 2030 where we aspire to become an upper-middle-income economy.
We do encourage the investors to roll out their commercialisation and monetising activities which they have intimated to Government.
The results are that the natural gas is of high quality with minimal impurities and that there is no hydrogen sulphide in the samples (which is an undesirable constituent in oil and gas).
Above all, the oil discovered falls into the light oil classification. This is the oil classification that produces diesel, petrol as well as jet A1.
The presence of helium and hydrogen which has also been confirmed becomes a welcome bonus from the Mukuyu deposit.
Zimbabwe is on course to be counted as a player in the oil and gas industry. There are unimaginable spinoffs for the economy and for Zimbabweans at large from oil and gas extraction and the attendant value chain activities.

High Quality Gas Discovered In Muzarabani

An Australia Stock Exchange (ASX)-listed miner, Invictus Energy, which is exploring oil in <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Muzarabani">Muzarabani</a>, Zimbabwe, has confirmed the presence of gas and liquid hydrocarbons in north-east Zimbabwe..
<a href="https://www.invictusenergy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/61132988.pdf">In a report</a> seen by Pindula News, Invictus said results from exploration have prompted the mining company to keep the drilling rig in Zimbabwe for at least another 12 months to drill more holes.
<h2>Major Highlights from the report:</h2>
<blockquote>
• Maiden exploration campaign confirms working hydrocarbon system.
• Mukuyu-1 ST1 identifies 13 potential hydrocarbon-bearing zones, including combined 225m gross potential hydrocarbon-bearing zones in primary Upper Angwa target
• Exalo Rig 202 contracted for further 12 months
• Preparations commencing for Mukuyu appraisal with Phase 2 drilling and evaluation
• 1.2-billion-barrel prospective resource identified in Basin Margin Area.
</blockquote>
Invictus said in the report:
<blockquote>
Mukuyu-1 ST1 was drilled to a total depth of 3,603 metres and encountered fluorescence and elevated gas shows in multiple zones in the Upper Angwa primary target.
Preliminary analysis of wireline logs indicated multiple gas zones and potentially liquid hydrocarbon bearing intervals.
Wireline log interpretation calculated porosity of up to 15% and gas saturation of up to 90% in selected potential pay zones, but are yet to be calibrated with fluid and core data and are subsequently subject to wide margins of error.
Laboratory analysis of sidewall cores acquired during logging and drill cuttings and mud gas samples acquired whilst drilling will provide further calibration of the wireline and the geological model once completed.
</blockquote>
Geo Associates managing director Mr Paul Chimbodza said in a statement:
<blockquote>
 To this end, we are extremely buoyed by the positive results from our first Mukuyu-1 well on the project and in Zimbabwe. 
</blockquote>
The first benefits from commercial production of the basin are likely to come from natural gas.

Invictus Confirms Presence Of Gas In Muzarabani, Zimbabwe

Invictus Energy says it has identified thirteen (13) potential oil and gas-bearing zones in Muzarabani, a result the company said is “virtually unprecedented for the first well in a frontier basin.”
The company’s Managing Director Scott Macmillan said they are still interpreting all data with results to be integrated into the seismic data and basin models to guide future well locations and exploration prospect selection. He said:
<blockquote>
The Mukuyu-1 and ST1 drill campaign has been a great success, identifying 13 potential hydrocarbon bearing zones across the Pebbly Arkose and Upper Angwa formations.
Significantly, a combined 225 metres of gross potential hydrocarbon-bearing zones have been identified in the primary target Upper Angwa, which still contains deeper untested potential.
This is an outstanding result and virtually unprecedented for the first well in a frontier basin, establishing a new petroleum province and substantially de-risking the Company’s wider acreage
in the Cabora Bassa Basin.
We are still interpreting all the data, with results to be integrated into the seismic data and basin models to guide future well locations and exploration prospect selection.
</blockquote>
In a statement, Invictus said following the completion of operations of the Mukuyu-1 ST1 well, a total of 13 potential
hydrocarbon bearing zones were interpreted in the Pebbly Arkose and Upper Angwa
formations.
It said 11 potential hydrocarbon-bearing zones totalling a combined 225 metres were identified in the Upper Angwa formation. Invictus said:
<blockquote>
All potential hydrocarbon-bearing zones have been isolated and plugged and the Mukuyu-1 and ST1 wells have been left in a safe condition.

Invictus Finds 13 Potential Oil And Gas-Bearing Zones In Muzarabani

Invictus Energy Limited has announced that it is ceasing operations on Mukuyu-1 and ST1 in Muzarabani after conditions were deemed “unsuitable” and “not feasible”.
In a statement, the company said it encountered difficulties during drilling which included the breakage of a T Bar Clamp as workers attempted to retrieve the wireline formation testing tool, which was later damaged in the process.
It said it has extended its drill rig contract for a further year as it plans to drill either Mukuyu-2 or Baobab-1 this year.
Managing Director Scott Macmillan said that despite the numerous operational challenges encountered and not being able to obtain a fluid sample, the company had achieved a hugely significant result from the first well in the basin. He said:
<blockquote>
We have achieved a fantastic result from the Mukuyu-1 and sidetrack well which has multiple gas zones and potentially liquid hydrocarbon bearing intervals interpreted from wireline logs and drilling. 
We have a proven hydrocarbon system in the Cabora Bassa Basin as evidenced from significantly elevated gas shows and fluorescence during drilling and confirmed the presence of rich source rock, seal, reservoir, trap and timing.
Whilst we are frustrated with the numerous operational challenges encountered and not being able to obtain a fluid sample that would have enabled the formal declaration of a discovery, we have still achieved a hugely significant result from the first well in the basin which has substantially de-risked our dominant acreage position and established a new petroleum province. 
We have gathered a high-quality dataset across the Mukuyu-1 and sidetrack well which will now be integrated with the existing seismic data to calibrate and refine our interpretation and plan for the appraisal of Mukuyu as well as additional prospects in the basin.
We are particularly encouraged with the Upper Angwa Alternation Member horizon which proved up the hydrocarbon potential over a 900 metre gross interval with elevated gas shows and fluorescence to TD and still contains deeper untested potential and a further 300 metres of updip potential at the crest of the structure. 
The contract amendment executed with Exalo to keep Rig 202 for an additional 12 months underpins our confidence in the hydrocarbon prospectivity of the basin and will result in substantial time and cost savings to the Company compared to demobilising and remobilising the rig to and from East Africa for future drilling. 
Furthermore, the stacking of the rig at Mukuyu-1 will allow Exalo to perform maintenance and upgrades of the rig prior to recommencing drilling of either Mukuyu-2 or Baobab-1 in 2023 whilst the Company sources necessary long leads, conducts tendering for well services and integrates the substantial information gathered into the geological model to determine future drilling locations. 
We have gained a deeper understanding of the subsurface geology and valuable experience in drilling of the Cabora Bassa Basin which will allow us to optimise our plans, drilling fluids, equipment and services required for future campaigns. 
Overall, the drilling campaign and Mukuyu-1 and sidetrack well have been a tremendous success.
We thank our shareholders and supporters for backing the Company to fund and sole risk the drilling campaign, the results of which have put us in a strong future position given the petroleum potential of the basin has been proven.
We have an exciting portfolio of additional prospects and leads which has been substantially de-risked in addition to Mukuyu.

No Discovery Of Oil In Muzarabani As Invictus Ends Operations On Mukuyu-1

Invictus Energy Limited has elected to deepen the Mukuyu-1 well to test its further potential after reaching targetted depth of at least 3.5 kilometers last week.
The Australia-headquartered firm is exploring oil and gas in Muzarabani in the Zambezi Valley.
In an update on Friday, Invictus managing director Scott Macmillan said the Exalo Rig 202 was preparing to drill further down to 3.8 kilometres, to test the deeper potential of the remaining Upper Angwa and Lower Angwa formations. He said:
<blockquote>
Preliminary logging analysis from this early stage of the wireline programme in the current 8½ hole section has been encouraging, indicating multiple potential gas-bearing zones.
However, the presence of moveable hydrocarbons will be determined following the wireline formation testing programme, which will be run following the arrival of the wireline formation testing tool at the well site.
In the interim, we have elected to drill ahead to test the deeper potential of the remaining Upper Angwa and Lower Angwa formations, which will also provide us with valuable geological and geophysical information for future wells in the basin.
We anticipate the remaining activities will require a further 5 -7 days to complete following which final well results will be provided.
</blockquote>
Soon after drilling Mukuyu 1, a second well, the Baobab, will be sunk down to 1.5 km, with both exercises set to give a better idea of the full extent of the reserves in the Muzarabani prospect following the collection of more than 800 km of seismic data in 2021. | <a href="https://newziana.co.zw/2022/11/18/invictus-to-deepen-well-to-further-test-potential/">New Ziana</a>

Invictus To Deepen Well To Further Test Potential

Australian-listed Invictus Energy Ltd, an independent oil and gas exploration company focused on high-impact energy resources in sub-Saharan Africa, has said early findings in its oil project in Muzarabani are highly encouraging.
In an update seen by Pindula News, Invictus said there is an increase in resistivity which is usually a pointer to the presence of crude oil and natural gas. 
These products are nonconductors of electricity therefore, their presence in reservoir rock increases resistivity – a measure of the resistance of a specific material to the electrical current conduction that flows through it. 
Invictus Managing Director Scott Macmillan said:
<blockquote>
Early indications in our Upper Angwa primary target are highly encouraging and have proven a conventional working hydrocarbon system in the Cabora Bassa Basin, which is an exciting development validating our subsurface model.
The presence of elevated mud gas readings, fluorescence in the cuttings, elevated LWD resistivity and increasing background gas with depth is a positive sign as we progress through the Upper Angwa Alternations Member.
We still have several hundred metres of drilling through our primary targets with additional potential, which will be followed by a comprehensive wireline logging programme to evaluate results, with the aim of confirming the presence of moveable hydrocarbons in multiple zones.
</blockquote>
Major findings
<blockquote>
1). Elevated mud gas peaks were observed with marked increases from C1 to C5 compounds (methane, ethane, propane, butanes and pentanes).
2). An initial 100 per cent fluorescence was also observed in a downhole cuttings sample of sandstone indicating the presence of condensate or light oil when placed under ultraviolet light.

Muzarabani Oil Drilling Zimbabwe: Invictus Says Early Findings Are "Highly Encouraging"

Australian-listed Invictus Energy Ltd, an independent oil and gas exploration company focused on high-impact energy resources in sub-Saharan Africa, has issued an update on oil drilling in <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Muzarabani">Muzarabani,</a> Zimbabwe stating that they have encountered some setbacks.
Invictus made the announcement in response to a request by Australia Stock Exchange (ASX) for an update on drilling. In an update seen by Pindula News, Invictus said drilling at Mukuyu-1 commenced on 23 September and is expected to take 50 – 60 days to complete and evaluate.
The company added that it has encountered some minor delays in preparation for, and whilst drilling the 12¼” hole section due to rig maintenance and failures of measuring while drilling (MWD) evaluation tools.
Invictus also said it first became aware of the minor delays during the week ending 14 October 2022 adding that these minor delays are often encountered during normal oilfield drilling operations.
The company also said the minor delays, such as those detailed above have been provisioned for in the overall estimated drilling timeline.
Invictus added that it will provide an update if there are any material changes to anticipated timelines following the completion of the casing and cementing of the 12¼” hole section in preparation for drilling the final 8½” hole section. Added the company:
<blockquote>
As stated in previous announcements, wireline logging is the primary means of evaluating the drilling results. Whilst the failures of measuring while drilling (MWD) tools has resulted in a limited realtime dataset being received, it has no impact on the timing or results of wireline evaluation program which is planned to be run once the respective hole sections have been completed.
The Company will provide an update to the market once the wireline evaluation is complete.
</blockquote>
Pindula News presents Invictus’ direct response to the queries raised by ASX relating to the drilling:
<blockquote>
