"Long-anticipated" Oil Exploration Drilling Starts In Zimbabwe

Exploration drilling is underway on a much-anticipated onshore oil and gas play in Zimbabwe in southern Africa.

The operator Invictus Energy said Sunday that drilling started in Block SG 4571 on 24 September at the first of two potentially play-opening exploration wells.

Two prospects underway starting with the giant Mukuyu prospect.

Invictus said it planned to drill Mukuyu-1 to a projected depth of 3 500 metres, with the drilling and evaluation work expected to take between 50 and 60 days to complete.

Managing Director Scott Macmillan said the commencement of drilling was an “exciting and long-anticipated” moment for Invictus Energy and its shareholders. He said:

Invictus, together with our partners, have methodically de-risked and matured the Mukuyu prospect and our Cabora Bassa acreage over the last several years, and the commencement of our drilling campaign is a significant milestone.
Mukuyu-1 is a world-class, basin-opening well which, if successful, could be transformative for the company and Zimbabwe.

According to the company, Mukuyu is one of the largest oil and gas exploration prospects to be drilled globally this year, targeting a combined prospective resource potential of 20 trillion cubic feet and 845 million barrels of conventional gas condensate.

After completing Mukuyu-1, Invictus then plans to drill the Baobab-1 well which will take around 30 to 40 days to complete.

All Zimbabweans are anticipating a change of their lives in tandem with the fruition of the drilling at Mukuyu 1 and Baobab 1. The problems citizens fear emanate from our experienced thieves, the elites. They open their mouths to shout their mantra, "Zimbabwe is open for business," instead of shouting, "Zimbabwe is open for stealing." They are really experienced in stealing. Citizens expected to be well off by this time when diamonds were "discovered" in Marange. But alas !!!!! Zimbabweans are still wallowing in extreme poverty. If one visits Mutare today, he would be greeted by vendors selling shoes and old clothes they smuggle from Mozambique under cover of darkness. Before independence in 1980, the City of Mutare was ranked number 1 in cleanliness, but today it is a pale shadow of itself. It is fighting for number 1 in uncleanliness.

As long as Mozambique's wells don't 'invisibly' cross our boundary underground they won't be conflicts.

Not actually Russia,USA and UAE are the biggest oil producers,but there’s no war Why? It’s because if citizens benefit from their resources and they appreciate the reults they will protect their wealth.look at Dubai‘s transformation Manje Problem yetunyika twawataura utwu iCorruption saka people rebel and start civil wars or even help extremists by giving them intel and accommodation Mukangoraramisa vene venyu neoiri yavo mhanfu dzese dzinomamiswa and hadzife dzakauya kuno

UAE is a close ally of a world super power. In return for 'protection' they sell out other Arab states to super powers. Just look at how Gaddafi was sold out despite ticking ball the boxes you mentioned up there. Russia and America are super powers.
