BOWLEVEN, the west Africa-focused oil and gas exploration group, said yesterday that drilling had started at its Sapele-3 well in the Douala Basin offshore Cameroon.
The Sapphire Driller jack-up rig will drill to a depth of around 11,646ft at the discovery nearly 10 miles north-west of the Sapele-1 well, where Bowleven has already found oil, condensate and gas.
