Gas Handling – The Key to Monetising Resources
- Etinde resources are predominately gas-associated liquids.
- In order to realise the value of Bowleven’s existing discoveries,
finding a solution for the associated gas is key.
- In common with nearly all African countries, Cameroon has only
a small but rapidly expanding market for gas.
- Until very recently the Cameroon Government had a strong
preference for any Cameroon gas, including Etinde gas, to be earmarked for use in aggregated LNG (GdF) scheme.
- Whilst gas sales to a third party is clearly preferable it is not a
pre-requisite to development as alternative ‘in house’ solutions exist.
- Commercialising gas is a key objective of the work programme
that has been agreed by the JV for 2012.
- Production will provide the cashflow base for ongoing
development – plus further exploitation of the existing extensive prospect inventory.

- As stratigraphic traps result from a change in lithology, they can form at a variety of scales.
- Continuous-type plays and unconfined play types are known globally e.g. Bakken oil play in Northern USA.
- Characteristics of continuous-type plays:
- Geology
- Production
− lack of obvious trap, large areal extent, abnormal pressures (low or high), close association with source rocks. − large in-place hydrocarbon volume, absence of truly ‘dry’ holes. − serendipitous ‘hit or miss’ character of flow rates and ultimate recoveries per well. − Deep Omicron reservoir properties superior to Bakken: high quality sandstones contained within source rock; high test rates; and fracking not required.

- Drilling deviated and horizontal wells to enhance productivity and define production ‘sweet spots’.
- Recoverable reserves are ultimately a function of the number and type of wells drilled and the completion methodology.

affords a new understanding of the Cameroon Line, its evolution and associated prospectivity.
- Variety of play types to explore for in MLHP-6.
- Highly prospective acreage given its position between proven
active hydrocarbon systems.
