Invictus Energy reports that it has reached total depth of 3,718 meters on its Mukuyu-2 well in its Cabora Bassa drilling program in Zimbabwe. The company says strong gas shows and fluorescence were encountered in multiple additional Lower Angwa reservoirs.
A gross hydrocarbon charge interval across Upper and Lower Angwa in excess of 1,000 meters was noted. The wireline logging program has subsequently commenced to evaluate multiple zones of interest.
Managing Director Scott Macmillan commented on the progress report: “We have had further encouraging signs from the Mukuyu-2 well since drilling recommenced with multiple additional zones encountering strong gas shows and fluorescence in the Lower Angwa formation.
“Mukuyu-2 has proved up over a 1,000m gross interval of hydrocarbon charge through the Upper and Lower Angwa formations across multiple reservoir zones. The planned comprehensive wireline logging programme including formation pressure and fluid sampling, sidewall cores and checkshot surveys will be run with the aim of confirming the presence of moveable hydrocarbons in multiple zones in the Upper and Lower Angwa formations to declare a discovery.
“We anticipate completing the wireline logging program in the next 6 – 8 days depending on logging conditions and number of fluid sampling stations.”
