Bowleven Oil & Gas’ Zingana exploration well has encountered hydrocarbons in the Paleocene-aged (Tertiary) reservoir onshore Cameroon, the company said in a news release.
The well is the first in the company’s two-well exploration program in the Bomono permit area. The well, which was drilled to a total depth of 1,720 m, is being suspended as planned to enable future reentry, the company said.
The rig will now be moved to the Moambe well location, more than 2 km east of Zingana. Moambe is a previously undrilled Paleocene (Tertiary)-aged robust three-way dip closed fault block, the release said. Bowleven said it intends to drill, log and evaluate both wells prior to determining any testing plan.
