Bowleven and its partners on the Etinde Block in Cameroon, New Age (operator) and Lukoil, spud the IM-6 appraisal well on May 21. The IM-6 well is the first of two appraisal wells to be drilled in 2018.
The Etinde JV partners contracted the Vantage jack-up rig Topaz Driller for this campaign, Drilling and logging operations of IM-6 are expected to take approximately 100 days in total with Schlumberger providing most of the drilling services. The well is designed to delineate the size and extent of the Intra-Isongo stratigraphic sand traps as a primary target, with the Upper Isongo sand as a secondary target.
