Cameroon: Bowleven Zingana well finds hydrocarbons

Edinburgh-based Bowleven has said that the Zingana exploration well on the onshore Bomono permit has encountered hydrocarbons. Bowleven gave few details but said the well had been drilled to 1,720 metres total depth and had found hydrocarbons in the target Paleocene aged reservoir intervals. The rig will now be moved to drill Moambe, the second well in the programme. Located just over 2km east of Zingana, Moambe is a previously undrilled Paleocene aged robust three-way dip closed fault block.
