INVICTUS ENERGY says drilling on its exploration well, Mukuyu-2, in Muzarabani, Mashonaland Central, is showing “encouraging” results.
The company said higher total background gas was observed in Mukuyu-2 compared to Mukuyu-1.
The drilling has also detected heavier hydrocarbons (C4 and C5) in mudgas, which indicates an active petroleum system in the basin.
“The early signs from Mukuyu-2 are encouraging where we have observed higher background gas and better reservoir quality,” said Invictus Energy managing director Mr Scott Macmillan said.
“Mukuyu-2, if successful, could be transformational for the company, Zimbabwe and much of Southern Africa’s future energy needs.”
