Gift Mugano, a professor of economics, has urged the Government to improve on governance and accountability of Zimbabwe’s natural resources following Invictus Limited Energy’s confirmation of the presence of “light oil, gas-condensate and helium” in its Cabora Bassa Basin (Muzarabani).
The Australia-listed firm announced its find on Monday, 08 May 2023. Invictus Managing Director Scott Macmillan said that mud gas analysis from the Mukuyu-1 well drilled last year had proved the presence of hydrocarbons in multiple reservoir pay zones.
Speaking to <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200011291/eureka-zim-discovers-oil">NewsDay</a> on Monday following Invictus’s announcement, Mugano challenged the Government to put in place systems that will not ensure that Zimbabweans benefit from the find unlike what allegedly happened with the Chiadzwa diamonds where “US$15 billion vanished”. Said Mugano:
<blockquote>
This is good news, but the worry rests on our approach to our accountability of natural resources.
To be honest with you, we should not be holding our breath over oil and gas as if that is the only thing which we have in this country.
We have over 60 minerals, which are being plundered every day.
There is chaos in the lithium and gold industry. There’s chaos in precious metals like diamonds.
Zimbabweans want answers about what is going on with their resources.
As for me, I will hold on to my celebrations personally.
What are we celebrating because this was the same story with diamonds?
It’s not more about the availability of gas and oil, but it’s more about what we are going to do in terms of governance and accountability of our minerals.
Good news, but we cannot go to a party because we are used to this whole good news and we have not got anything out of it.
We are challenging the government that, in as much as this is good news, their systems and policies must not disappoint us.
</blockquote>
In a shareholder update yesterday, MacMillan said:
<blockquote>
Results from the mudgas compositional analysis definitively prove the presence of hydrocarbons in multiple reservoir pay zones at Mukuyu-1 consistent with the wireline log interpretation, fluorescence and elevated mudgas readings.
… We are extremely pleased with the results from the mudgas analysis which confirm our geological modelling of the Cabora Bassa Basin and the presence of both light oil and gas condensate provides us with confidence as we prepare for the drilling of Mukuyu-2 in Q3 this year.

"Too Early To Celebrate Discovery Of Oil In Muzarabani"

Australia-listed Invictus Energy Limited on Monday, 08 May confirmed the presence of light oil, gas condensate and helium at its Cabora Bassa project in Muzarabani, Zimbabwe.
Invictus Managing Director Scott Macmillan said that mud gas analysis from the Mukuyu-1 well drilled last year had proved the presence of hydrocarbons in multiple reservoir pay zones. He said:
<blockquote>
Results from the mudgas compositional analysis definitively proves the presence of hydrocarbons in multiple reservoir pay zones at Mukuyu-1 consistent with the wireline log interpretation, fluorescence, and elevated mudgas readings.
Analysis shows the presence of light oil and rich natural gas-condensate, with condensate gas ratios estimated at between 30 to 135 barrels per million cubic feet.
The analysed samples demonstrate a consistent, high-quality natural gas composition, exhibiting low inert content, containing less than 1% CO2. 
Furthermore, the presence of helium gas in commercial concentrations in multiple reservoir units is comparable with global helium-producing fields and provides an additional high-value by-product.
We are extremely pleased with the results from the mudgas analysis which confirm our geological modelling of the Cabora Bassa Basin and the presence of both light oil and gas condensate provides us with confidence as we prepare for the drilling of Mukuyu-2 in Q3 this year.
Success at Mukuyu-2 and confirmation of a significant discovery will further unlock the value of our material portfolio and basin master position in the Cabora Bassa Basin.
</blockquote>
Helium is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, non-toxic, and inert monatomic gas used as a cooling medium for nuclear reactors and in cryogenics (the study of low-temperature phenomena).

Australian Firm Finds Oil, Gas And Helium In Zimbabwe

Southern Africa wildcatter Invictus Energy has announced plans to drill a second well on its Mukuyu structure in Muzarabani.
Invictus Energy Managing Director Scott Macmillan said preparations for the Mukuyu-2 appraisal well have commenced. He said:
<blockquote>
Preparations for the Mukuyu-2 appraisal well have commenced, with drilling currently targeted to commence in early Q3.
We will take the learnings from the successful Mukuyu-1/ST1 well to optimise the well design for the drilling conditions encountered and the ability to evaluate multiple hydrocarbon bearing intervals.
Post-well analysis of Mukuyu-1 indicates potential for significant gas columns in the Pebbly Arkose and Upper Angwa formations, based on significantly elevated pressures in interpreted gas-bearing sands above normal hydrostatic gradient.
Preliminary processing of the side wall cores obtained in the Mukuyu-1 well has also provided further encouragement for the Company.
Additional fluorescence observed in the upper Pebbly Arkose reservoir sections has increased the gross interval with hydrocarbon charge throughout the Pebbly Arkose and Upper Angwa to 1,500 metres and substantially expands the play interval in the Cabora Bassa Basin.
Following success at Mukuyu-1/ST1, which confirmed a working hydrocarbon system in the basin, we have received industry interest to participate in the Cabora Bassa Project and the Company is considering a range of options to manage forward exploration, appraisal and development programs
We are also planning an infill 2D seismic survey in EPO 1848/49 to mature multiple leads into drillable prospects along trend from Mukuyu, and the highly prospective Basin Margin play.
</blockquote>
Macmillan and the entire Board are expected to spend time on the ground in Zimbabwe early next month.
Invictus said on the back of positive results from Mukuyu-1/ST1, it has received interest from industry partners to participate in the Cabora Bassa Project. The company said in an announcement:
<blockquote>
The well design for Mukuyu-2 will incorporate valuable experience gained from the drilling of the successful Mukuyu-1/ST1 exploration well to improve drilling efficiency and lowering operational risks.
The appraisal well will also be designed to test the deeper potential in the remaining Upper Angwa formation, which was not encountered in the Mukuyu-1/ST1 campaign due to it being thicker than pre-drill estimates.
The Mukuyu-1/ST1 well encountered gas pay to total depth, interpreted from wireline logs and fluorescence in multiple reservoirs throughout the 900-metre interval penetrated.
This additional prospectivity in the Upper Angwa and the undrilled Lower Angwa target provides further up-side potential at Mukuyu-2.
The Mukuyu-2 well design will allow for flow testing to confirm reservoir deliverability and connectivity following a successful discovery.
The tendering process has commenced for minor additional long leads and well services and the completion of this process will help further refine the timing of the spud date for Mukuyu-2.
</blockquote>

Invictus Set To Drill Second Oil And Gas Well In Muzarabani In July

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

Invictus Energy says it may start drilling exploration wells on its oil and gas project in Muzarabani early next year after taking delivery of state-of-the-art equipment to be used in identifying well sites.
The Australian firm’s managing director Scott MacMillan said the more than 20 truckloads of seismic survey equipment offloaded at Durban Port were now on their way to Beitbridge, en route to a workshop in Harare before being deployed to Muzarabani. He said:
<blockquote>The timeframe is being dictated by the lead time for fabrication of wellheads and casing, which is currently six to seven months. So, at this stage, (drilling is) more likely next year.</blockquote>
Invictus needs to wait for the completion of seismic data to be processed and interpreted to “locate the well site properly”.

</ul>
That process will be completed towards year-end. The seismic survey was a “big deal and the first time it has been done in the country for 30 years,” said MacMillan.
Seismic survey is a method used in exploration, especially for oil and gas, to gather sub-surface vibrations that may help identify the exact location of or existence of hydrocarbons.
This will be followed by the sinking of test wells to confirm whether the geologies of identified locations harbour pockets that trapped sediments that decomposed and turned into commercially viable oil or gas deposits.

Drilling Of Oil Exploration Wells In Muzarabani To Start In 2022

Invictus Energy on 25 June said 2D seismic campaign in the Cabora Bassa basin in Zimbabwe will begin in July.
The seismic acquisition contract was awarded to Canada’s Polaris Natural Resources in April. Invictus said:
<blockquote>Polaris has received work permits for their expatriate staff and has begun mobilising personnel to Zimbabwe to commence the 2D seismic campaign and are due to arrive in the next few days.</blockquote>
Polaris has commenced the recruitment of up to 100 local employees who will be involved in the seismic campaign, the vast majority of which are expected to come from within the local communities.
The camp construction will commence prior to the end of June and is expected to be completed in early July. Said Invictus:
<blockquote>The seismic campaign is estimated to officially commence in July with line clearing operations and followed by seismic data acquisition.
The vibroseis units and recording equipment are currently in transit to Zimbabwe.</blockquote>
The company intends to conduct, process, and interpret a minimum of 400 line km of 2D seismic in order to refine the Muzarabani-1 drilling location and well path and identify additional prospectivity for the upcoming drilling campaign.

Invictus Energy To Start Seismic Campaign In Zimbabwe In July

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has urged state security agencies to be always on high alert as Invictus Energy said it had made headway in its hunt for oil in the Muzarabani district.
Mnangagwa made the call during the Chamber of Mines of Zimbabwe (CoMZ) annual general meeting in Victoria Falls recently.
Invictus Energy, an Australia Stock Exchange-listed oil and gas exploration, and the Zimbabwe government signed a petroleum exploration development and production agreement to carry out exploration and production of oil and gas.
While Invictus was yet to make its first find, reports of oil endowments have ignited hopes of a change of fortunes in Zimbabwe, which has spent the past two decades battling an economic crisis.
But Mnangagwa warned that while an oil find would be good news, Zimbabwe should also be wary of problems associated with such discoveries. He said:
<blockquote>The Discovery of oil and gas presents unique and competitive opportunities. These include the production of liquid fuels as well as various downstream linkages such as liquid fuels, electricity generation, production of liquefied petroleum gas, fertilisers and use in the petrochemical industry.
While this is an excellent development, it has its negative side. So the Ministry of Defence must be awake because once these things come they attract terrorism.</blockquote>
Zimbabwe’s eastern neighbour, Mozambique, is battling Islamist insurgents in its northern provinces where up to US$20 billion in oil and gas investments by one firm alone have been under threat.
French energy firm Total said in April that it had halted operations on its US$20 billion investment at a liquefied natural gas project as a result of the security threats posed by the extremist insurgents in Mozambique’ Cabo Delgado province.
In Zimbabwe, Invictus energy has requested the government to expand its exploration claims in Muzarabani to about a million hectares, marking another phase in the firm’s hunt for its first find in the southern African country.
The firm is currently exploring oil on a 100 000-hectare special grant where it will sink its first test well by the fourth quarter of this year.
