Invictus Energy Limited (\u201cInvictus\u201d or \u201cthe Company\u201d) is pleased to provide an update on the Mukuyu-1 well that is currently being drilled in its 80% owned SG 4571 licence in Zimbabwe\u2019s Cabora Bassa Basin.<\/p>\n

Since the last update, the diverter system has been rigged up and the Exalo Rig 202 has drilled the 17 \u00bd\u201d surface hole section down to a depth of approximately 593m Measured Depth (\u201cMD\u201d).<\/p>\n

The casing is a series of steel pipes that run into a drilled oil well to stabilize the well, keep contaminants and water out of the oil stream, and prevent oil from leaching into the groundwater. The casing is installed in layers, in sections of decreasing diameter that is joined together to form casing strings.<\/p>\n
