Bowleven Submits Etinde Authorisation Application (Cameroon)

Bowleven, the Africa focused oil and gas exploration group traded on AIM, today announces an update on the Etinde Exploitation Authorisation Application (EEAA).

The EEAA defines the means of monetising the Etinde hydrocarbons by supplying treated gas to a Government sponsored fertiliser plant and also through a liquefied natural gas (LNG) scheme. The submission of the EEAA was jointly approved by Bowleven and its partner CAMOP at a Management Committee meeting on 3 January 2014 and was subsequently submitted to the Cameroon Authorities for their approval on 6 January 2014.

The Ministry of Mines has confirmed receipt of the application and has advised that it will respond to the application once SNH have reverted with their technical opinion.
