Invictus Energy has completed the acquisition of 839.3km of high-resolution 2D seismic data as part of its Cabora Bassa 2021 (CB21) survey onshore Zimbabwe. This significantly exceeds the company’s minimum work programme of 300km of 2D seismic data over its Special Grant 45 71 (SG 4571) license that runs to June 2024.
402.2km of data was acquired over SG 4571, where lies the Muzarabani prospect that Invictus Energy will drill next year. The remaining 437.1km of contiguous data was acquired in an existing application area.
“The seismic data processing and interpretation is ongoing and once completed will enable us to identify and mature additional prospects and leads. The better imaging over the giant Muzarabani structure is very encouraging and once the interpretation of the full dataset is completed, we expect to refine the location for the basin opening Muzarabani-1 well which is scheduled to be drilled in 1H 2022,” Invictus Energy Managing Director Scott Macmillan commented.
Invictus has an 80% equity stake in SG4571 via its subsidiary Geo Associates (Private) Limited. The license was granted for three years back in August 2017 and is currently in its second exploration period.
