It also indicated that an exploration well-targeting 1Tcf of gas was being planned at Musuma prospect in 2025 to test the Dande play east of the Cabora Bassa basin. The Exalo 202 rig remains onsite at the Mukuyu-2 location and will be utilized for the 2025 exploration drilling campaign.

Following the completion of the interpretation of the CB23 seismic survey data and a review of the prospectivity in the eastern Cabora Bassa basin, Invictus announced that eight key prospects have been defined in the company’s Exclusive Prospecting Orders (EPOs) 1848 and 1849 totaling 2.9Tcf gas and 184 MMbbl condensate.

“We have identified some high-confidence drill targets for the company’s next exploration campaign-I look forward to providing further updates as we progress the Mukuyu gas field testing and appraisal, farm out and the wider Cabora Bassa exploration program,” Invictus Energy Managing Director Scott Macmillan said.

Based on the CB23 seismic survey result, the company will focus its exploration drilling campaign, initially targeting the Musuma prospect (estimated to contain 1.17Tcf-gross mean unrisked basis) to test the eastern gas prospectivity, in addition to further appraisal drilling in the Mukuyu gas field.
