Standpoint for future

Invictus is preparing the Exalo Rig 202 for drilling at Muluyu-1 wellsite for testing the deeper potential of the remaining Upper Angwa and potentially Lower Angwa formations.

The company is planning to run another wireline logging evaluation suite, including wireline formation testing, seeking in-depth geological information. This will also confirm the presence of moveable hydrocarbons.

IVZ expects to complete the remaining drilling and logging operations in about five to seven days, depending upon the borehole conditions.
