Bowleven off Cameroon

Bowleven has commenced drilling on the Sapele-1 sidetrack (Sapele-1ST), Douala Basin, offshore Cameroon with the Noble Tommy Craighead jackup rig.

The principal objective of Sapele-1ST is to appraise the Deep Omicron oil discovery encountered in the Sapele-1 exploration well. The well is to be drilled to an estimated vertical depth of circa 3,682 meters (4,761 meters measured depth) approximately 2 kilometers South East from the Deep Omicron oil discovery in the original vertical well. Drilling is expected to take approximately 40 to 50 days (excluding testing).

Vantage's Sapphire Driller jackup has now been contracted and consequently the Sapele-2 well is expected to spud mid March 2011 as a material step-out down dip from the Sapele-1 location.
