Bowleven spuds in Cameroon

Scottish oil exploration company, Bowleven, has begun drilling operations on the Moambe exploration well on the Bomono Permit in Cameroon.

Moambe, the second well in a two-well programme, is located just over two kilometres east of the first well, Zingana. The onshore well will be drilled to an estimated target depth of 1,620 metres.

Meanwhile, a Petrophysical evaluation on the Zingana discovery well is continuing and the well has been suspended to enable future re-entry and testing. Bowleven intends to drill, log and evaluate both wells prior to determining any testing plan.
