West Africa oil and gas explorer Bowleven has discovered 8m of net hydrocarbon pay at the Sapele-3 well on block MLHP-5 in the Douala Basin, offshore Cameroon.

Bowleven, which was drilled to a total depth of 4,480m and a water depth of 30m, will be suspended for future re-entry, testing and potential use as a development well.
Previously, the company encountered 11m of net pay within the Deep Omicron interval.
Once the suspension operations are complete, the jack-up rig Sapphire Driller will be released from its contract.
