(Business in Cameroon) - The British oil and gas company Bowleven Plc announced on August 19, 2015 that it has started drilling on the Moambe well of the Bomono licenced block located on shore in Douala in Cameroon. The well is located a little over two kilometres to the East of the first well, Zingana, on which Bowleven recently discovered hydrocarbon deposits.

The British company announced that the operations on the first well were suspended as forecast, not only to facilitate the Moambe drilling, but also to await the results of various tests on the elements discovered on Zingana.

Moambe and Zingana are the two wells that are a part of the 2015 drilling programme on the Bomono licenced block, that Bowleven Plc holds 100%. The exploration licence, which will expire on December 2, 2015, represents two blocks covering 2,383 km2 in total.
