An Australian firm Invictus Energy, in partnership with the Zimbabwean government, is exploring for oil and gas in the northern Zimbabwe area of Muzarabani.

The firm claims the Muzarabani exploration is the “largest undrilled conventional oil and gas prospect onshore in Africa”, which could contain an estimated 283.2-billion cubic metres of gas and almost 250-million barrels of oil.

In a statement, Invictus Energy said the site was completed and handed over to civil contractors and drilling was expected to start in August. Invictus Energy MD, Scott Macmillan said another 110 loads will arrive in the country over the coming weeks, carrying more rig equipment ahead of drilling. But environmental groups have expressed fears that drilling for oil and gas will have a negative impact on the surrounding communities.
