Bowleven Two Potentially Significant Discoveries, Offshore Cameroon
Bowleven, the West Africa focused oil and gas exploration group listed on AIM, announces that the Sapele-1 exploration well drilling in the Douala Basin, offshore Cameroon has made two potentially significant hydrocarbon discoveries in Miocene reservoirs based on the results of drilling and initial wireline logs and pressure data. The first discovery, Lower Omicron, encountered light oil/gas condensate in moderate quality reservoir units. The second, Deep Omicron, encountered oil in high quality sands. This well was designed to intersect multiple stacked objectives through Miocene and Cretaceous horizons. As a result, it is believed to have penetrated the extremities of both Miocene prospects at sub-optimal locations.
