Sapele well targets Cretaceous potential
Offshore staff
HOUSTON -- Bowleven has started drilling the Sapele-1 exploration well on block MLHP-5, in the Douala basin offshore Cameroon.
The targets are a series of stacked reservoir objectives, from the proven Miocene fairway down to the deeper Cretaceous fairway that is productive elsewhere off West Africa.
Sapele-1 should take 70-80 days to drill (excluding any testing), with an estimated target depth of around 4,450 m (14,600 ft).
