Bowleven updated its activities in Africa, more specifically in Cameroon and Kenya. In West Africa on Cameroon’s Bomono Permit, the company reported that the drilling contractor AODL has assembled the rig and drilling systems at Zingana. The Zingana well site is the first of two well locations in Bowleven’s 2015 exploration program in Cameroon. Routine function checks have identified certain mechanical and control issues that need to be addressed by AODL before drilling operations commence.
The technical and commercial work on the development options in the event of success on Bomono continues, and is clearly advantaged by the evolving industry cost environment.
In Kenya on Block 11B, the operator of the block, Adamantine, has applied to the Kenyan authorities for a 15-month extension to allow for the acquisition, processing, and evaluation of 2D seismic. Logistical issues, including security concerns, have delayed the commencement of seismic operations, such that the program will be unable to be completed prior to the expiry of the first exploration phase of the license on May 26.
