Invictus Energy Ltd, an independent upstream oil and gas company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX: IVZ), has reported plans to commence drilling the Mukuyu-2 appraisal well to confirm the discovery of light oil, gas condensate, and helium. This was stated in the company’s update on its activities at the Cabora Bassa Project in Zimbabwe.
The company announced the commencement of the mobilisation of Exalo Rig 202 to the Mukuyu-2 wellsite. Invictus Energy said the construction of the Mukuyu-2 wellpad has been completed and handed over after receiving necessary approvals from the Environmental Management Authority. In a statement seen by Pindula News, the company said:
<blockquote>
Invictus Energy Limited (“Invictus” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce the commencement of the Exalo Rig 202 mobilisation to Mukuyu-2 wellsite at its 80% owned and operated Cabora Bassa Project in Zimbabwe.
</blockquote>
Invictus Energy managing director Scott Macmillan said:
<blockquote>
The commencement of the rig mobilisation marks another milestone in the project as we prepare to commence drilling the Mukuyu-2 appraisal well as a follow-up from our highly successful basin opening Mukuyu-1/ST-1 well to confirm a discovery.
The Mukuyu-2 well will be located approximately 6.8km north-east from Mukuyu-1 and over 400m up-dip at the primary Upper Angwa target, which provides the potential to prove up a material discovery upon success.
Mukuyu-2 will be a near vertical well with a planned total depth of approximately 3,700m, which will also enable us to penetrate the untested Lower Angwa reservoirs in this location.
The preparation of the well services equipment to be followed by independent QAQC ahead of mobilisation to the Mukuyu-2 wellsite is well underway and we remain on track to spud in September.
</blockquote>
Invictus said it has finished constructing the Mukuyu-2 wellpad, which involved preparing the ground, ensuring stability, and providing a water supply. The Environmental Management Authority has inspected and approved the site.
Once the rig is moved to Mukuyu-2, Rig 202 will be set up and tested with a new system for storing drilling mud.
Mukuyu-2 is located about 6.8km northeast of Mukuyu-1 and aims to explore a specific rock formation called the Triassic Upper Angwa. It is shallower at Mukuyu-2, which will provide important information about the quality and distribution of the rock.
The well will be drilled vertically, allowing them to explore different layers of rock while keeping the operation simple. They will also investigate other rock formations like Dande, Forest, and Pebbly Arkose. The well is expected to reach a depth of approximately 3,700m, and drilling is planned to begin in September as scheduled.
Earlier this year, Invictus Energy announced that their Mukuyu-1 exploration well confirmed the presence of light oil, gas condensate, and helium. The well was drilled last year. The discovery has significant implications for both Invictus Energy and Zimbabwe itself. The resources can contribute to the country’s energy security and economic growth. The successful discoveries enhance Zimbabwe’s position as a potential player in the global energy market and may attract further investment in the country’s energy sector.

Invictus Energy To Drill Mukuyu-2 Appraisal Well To Confirm Oil, Gas And Helium Discovery

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has appealed for information that may lead to the arrest of three suspected armed robbers who intercepted a liquor delivery truck on Wednesday, 31 May in Muzarabani.
Police said the three suspects, who were armed with a pistol and an unidentified firearm, robbed the driver and his assistant of US$8 000 and a cellphone.
The suspects who, were travelling in a Toyota Wish vehicle, pounced on the truck along Muzarabani-Mahuwe Road around 9 AM yesterday. Police said:
<blockquote>
Police in Muzarabani are investigating a case of armed robbery which occurred on 31/05/23 at around 0900 hours at the 8-kilometre peg along Muzarabani-Mahuwe Road.
Three unknown suspects armed with a pistol and an unidentified firearm, who were travelling in a Toyota Wish vehicle intercepted a liquor delivery truck and attacked the driver and his assistant before stealing US$8 000 which was in the safe and a cellphone.
</blockquote>
Cases of armed robbery have been on the increase in the country as businesses prefer to keep their cash rather than deposit it with banks after the Government introduced controversial currency reforms in 2019 which resulted in the conversion of US dollars to worthless RTGS.
According to a report by the <a href="https://globalpressjournal.com/africa/zimbabwe/guns-flow-neighboring-countries-armed-robberies-spike/">Global Press Journal</a>, the number of illegal firearms smuggled into Zimbabwe from neighboring countries has increased, which has led to a rise in armed robberies.
In 2022, in a bid to reduce robberies and rampant gun crime in Zimbabwe, Mnangagwa extended a gun amnesty that allowed Zimbabweans illegally in possession of firearms to surrender them to the police with no questions asked.

Armed Robbers Intercept Liquor Delivery Truck In Muzarabani

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

Hundreds of villagers around Muzarabani Growth Point in Mashonaland Central Province face displacement to pave way for the expansion of the growth point.
The villagers, through their traditional leaders, have sought assistance from the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR) to stop their impending eviction.
The affected villagers claim they were not given alternative land to relocate to.
A letter written by the villagers through lawyer Paidamoyo Saurombe to the Muzarabani Rural District Council (MRDC) reads in part:
<blockquote>
Any relocation of villagers must be done in terms of the provisions of the law; and that there should be adequate notice and suitable relocation areas provided by MRDC.
There should be compensation to those who will be affected and adequate provisions to preserve the cultural and historical heritage of the area, hence a blanket approach, which disturbs the way of life of the village heads and the villagers would be undesirable and unlawful.
</blockquote>
The letter was copied to Local Government and Public Works Minister July Moyo.
The villagers demanded to be availed of a map that shows that their villages were in the Muzarabani growth point catchment area. They wrote:
In that vein, in terms of section 62 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe, read with section 7 of the Freedom of Information Act (Chapter 10:33), which promotes public access to governance information for the purpose of exercising accountability, we request to be provided with the following documents and information: The 1983 map for Muzarabani growth point, the October 1987 map for Muzarabani growth point, and the ground plan for Muzarabani growth point.

Muzarabani Villagers Face Displacement

Muzarabani north legislator Zhemu Soda has made a serious, urgent, heartfelt request for more food relief as starvation looms in the constituency. It is reported that about 16 800 households are in dire need of food aid. This number is exclusive of 9 400 already receiving grain.
Soda said that crops in the constituency failed due to severe drought. He also said that even drought-resistant crops and small grain plants failed this time around. Consequently, some individuals are now exchanging their livestock for grain. Soda said:
<blockquote>Mvura haina kunaya zvakanaka, tine mbesa dzakaparara zvachose zvekuti hatikwanise kudziverenga zvakafanana nemapfunde atinosirarama nawo nechibage nokuda kwekusanaya kwakaita mvura (We received low rainfall last season and the sorghum and maize seeds did not germinate).</blockquote>
Zbc News reports that although the names of vulnerable families were submitted to the District Administrator’s office through councillors, no grain has been received yet.
Zimbabwe as a whole is facing starvation following the Elnino induced drought. Famine is however not uniform as some regions had some other disasters which exacerbated the issue. Cyclone Idai did less to help the situation as it destroyed crops and several structures.

Muzarabani Begs For More Food Aid

An  Australian company, Invictus Energy Limited, has confirmed the potential of oil in Muzarabani, Cabora Bassa Basin, in Mashonaland Central Province, 25 years after Mobil carried out similar studies in the area and left.
The Cabora Bassa Project encompasses the Muzarabani Prospect, a TCF+ conventional gas-condensate target which is the largest, undrilled seismically defined structure onshore Africa.
In a statement on Monday, Invictus Energy said:
<blockquote>Preliminary gravity data reprocessing confirms shallow basement trend associated with Muzarabani anticline and identifies further leads Invictus Energy Limited (“Invictus” or “the Company”), is pleased to announce that the ongoing basin modelling study (the “Basin Model”) and geochemical studies confirm the oil potential of the Cabora Bassa Basin</blockquote>
