Most recent developments at Mukuyu

Invictus conducted a wireline logging run for an intermediate Total Depth of 2,987m measured depth (MD), to collect hydrocarbon samples from Upper Angwa reservoirs. For the Basal Pebbly Arkose and Upper Angwa formations, some data was obtained detecting many reservoirs bearing hydrocarbon in the Upper Angwa.

With the help of a wireline formation testing tool, four hydrocarbon samples have been collected from two different zones in the Upper Angwa. Also, two formation water samples have been gathered from the Basal Pebbly Arkose formation.

As per the wireline log interpretation, there is a preliminary net pay estimate of 13.9 million for the Upper Angwa. In the Upper Angwa gas leg, additional gross sands have been intersected under the net reservoir cutoff.

Furthermore, the priority points in the Pebbly Arkose and Upper Angwa have returned 13 huge volume sidewall core samples. These samples will be utilised to check the wireline log data collected during post-well analysis.

The company has decided to further deepen the sidetrack well towards the Total Depth, in the Lower Angwa, at ~3,400mMD.

What’s next?

Invictus will now focus on wrapping up the drilling and evaluation campaign and get more wireline data for the Lower Angwa formation.

Post completion of the drilling, IVZ will log the sidetrack well including wireline formation testing and fluid sampling and final results will be delivered.
