Bowleven has signed a Strategic Alliance Agreement with Petrofac bringing investment capital and development expertise to the proposed development of the Etinde Permit, Cameroon.

Kevin Hart, Chief Executive of Bowleven plc, commented,"I am very happy that Bowleven, through our subsidiary Euroil, is entering into a proposed strategic alliance with Petrofac in respect of our planned Etinde phased development. This complementary union provides Bowleven with potential access to both investment capital and, just as importantly, Petrofac's extensive development experience. Petrofac's excellent track record of service provision, including training, will augment significantly Euroil's strong local presence and capability. Our alliance with Petrofac will help deliver first production from our Etinde project, and represents a major step towards our goal of converting resources to reserves in Cameroon."
