Our energy Investment Invictus Energy (ASX: IVZ) just announced that its Mukuyu discovery ranks as second across Sub Saharan Africa for 2023.

Late last year IVZ drilled the Mukuyu-2 & Mukuyu-2 sidetrack wells at its oil & gas project in Zimbabwe.

After the sidetrack well in December, IVZ declared discoveries across two different reservoirs (Upper and Lower Angwa).

Now, IVZ’s Mukuyu discovery has been classified as “the second largest discovery in Sub-Saharan Africa” by global energy research firm Wood Mackenzie.

The review also noted ~7 discoveries in the region from 17 wells with two of those discoveries coming from IVZ.

IVZ’s discovery was placed at an estimated 230 million boe (1.3 TCF) which ranks it amongst discofveries made by oil and gas supermajors like Shell and TotalEnergies.
