Invictus Energy, the Australian firm exploring for oil and gas in Muzarabani, has covered over 400 kilometres of seismic study data recording, with the company saying the preliminary results are encouraging.
Seismic study data in oil and gas exploration refers to the process of using technology to listen to underground sound vibrations in order to determine the existence of hydro-carbons.
Actual drilling is set to begin during the first half of next year.
In a statement on its Twitter account, Invictus Energy said:
“The Cabora Bassa 2021 seismic survey has completed 467 km of data acquisition and remediation of the completed lines has commenced. The preliminary processing of test Line 05 by earth signal is demonstrating promising results in comparison to the fully processed vintage data from the 1990 Mobil survey.
“This very early-stage data from Earth Signal is already providing Invictus with improved seismic resolution, good fault definition and shaper delineation. The final seismic products will determine the well locations for the high impact basin opening drilling campaign scheduled for 1H 2022.”
Exploratory wells are required to see if these domes and traps have indeed trapped the organic matter that decomposes to gas and oil.
