Invictus Energy completes seismic survey in Zimbabwe

Australia’s Invictus Energy has completed the Cabora Bassa 2021 seismic survey in Zimbabwe with a total of 839.5 km of high-resolution 2D seismic data acquired, it said on November 3.

A total of 402.2 km of data was acquired in SG 4571 and following approvals, a further 437.1 km of contiguous data was acquired in an existing application area. The seismic survey significantly exceeds the company’s minimum work programme obligations of 300 km of 2D seismic data for the current licence period which runs to June 2024, Invictus said.

“The seismic data processing and interpretation is ongoing once completed will enable us to identify and mature additional prospects and leads,” Invictus managing director Scott Macmillan said. “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.”

The Cabora Bassa project comprises the Mzarabani and Msasa gas and condensate prospects, which Invictus describes as "world-class multi-trillion ft3" plays. The project received environmental approval from Zimbabwean authorities in August last year.
