(Business in Cameroon) - In the end, Bowleven did not start drilling the Zingana well on Bomono in the Douala Basin as initially planned for February 2015.

The drilling company explains that the delay is due to “mechanical and monitoring problems identified on the site” which “must first be addressed before drilling operations can commence.” At the same time, the company indicates that it is continuing its “technical and commercial work on project development options in case Bomono is a success.” 

Along with the Moambe oil well where it is still active, Bowleven has stated that Zingana is one of the two wells the British oil and gas company plans to drill in 2015 on Bomono in Cameroon.
