RNS today gives BowLeven's interim results and highlights the following:

RNS Number:2495ABowLeven Plc23 March 2006 BowLeven Plc23 March 2006

BowLeven Plc ('BowLeven' or 'the Company')
Interim results for the six months to 31 December 2005
Bow Leven, the Cameroon-focused oil & gas company listed on AIM, today announces its interim results for the six months ended 31 December 2005.

Highlights include:
* Cash of #62 million
* 3D seismic survey underway on blocks MLHP 5 and MLHP 6 of Etinde permit
* Reserves of 60.3 mmboe remain in place
* Four well drilling programme being prepared for early 2007
* Loss for the period #0.7 million
* Concentration on original strategic plan including implementation of Gas To Electricity ('GTE') Plant in Cameroon


At today's offer price of 195p, the company is valued at 57.7 million. However, they claim to have audited Resources consisting of 60.3 mmboe of Reserves and 58.2 mmboe of Contingent Resources. There is supposed to be a copy of the auditors' report on the website but I can't find it (UPDATE - have now requested this via e-mail) (NEW UPDATE - I never got a reply but the auditors' report can be found in the AIM admission document).

BLVN also has 60 million in cash, which ought to more than see it through its next lot of drilling.

This, however, is scheduled for 2007, which may be one reason why the SP is held back. But to me it still looks cheap. It is almost certainly oversold after the announcement of bad news in the latter half of last year.

Does anyone else have any thoughts on this?

Goosy, a good post, thanks.

At last: an RNS confirming that Kevin Hart will be joining BLVN on the 17th November, and I see that he's bringing with him Cairn's leading bloodhound, Ed Willett in the new year. They also announce an immediate change of broker, to Hoare Govett, who is Cairn's advisor.
The market seems to be reacting favourably and it may well be helped further if some of HG's clients are encouraged to come aboard. Let's hope there is some oil to be found in Cameroon.

At last:

It appears that so far, only the Scottish newspapers have spelled out the implications behind Kevin Hart's move from Cairn to BLVN (google will take you there). My guess is that there will be an even bigger jump in the sp when the news gets through to the rest of the UK.

Good find, Squidd.


Wish I'd paid more attention sooner!

Any holders of these have any opinions of FAO offer and medium term prospects?

Hi Capetown,

Thanks for your mail. I no longer hold BLVN, having got out on a modest profit some time ago because I fancied having a pop at another share. Nice to see I was right about the low valuation, though :o)

Good luck with your holding.

ST

FWIW, I haven't loooked at FAO recently but did a few months back and thought they might be undervalued. There seemed to be reasonable prospects and I am quite sure that BLVN's management are convinced that they can make the deal pay.

IMO, PDYOR.

Cheerts SOULTRADER

A haul from Springtime bottom fishing and showing a modest gain, BLVN is my tip for Boom or Bust 2007. The new Cairn man does not appear to be a publicity seeker and perhaps at age 38 he is in no great hurry, yet the indications dating from his last sale of Cairn shares in Oct 05 are that he is moving quickly to build a new oil empire. With an enlarged acreage and healthy cash pile, he announced last week the start-up of drilling and spoke of exciting prospects- his first publc utterance that I've come across. It's still possible to buy in below the price he paid for his 50k (110k) stake in BLVN and I'm topping up.

BowLeven Plc
09 January 2007



BowLeven plc ('BowLeven' or 'the Company')
Operational update - commencement of drilling

BowLeven is pleased to announce that the GlobalSantaFe Adriatic VI drilling rig,
which has been contracted by the Company for a four well drilling programme, is
now on location and commenced drilling on 8 January 2007.

The initial well being drilled is an Isongo E 2 ('IE 2') location, the first
appraisal well on the existing Isongo E discovery in Block MLHP 7 of the Etinde
Permit in Cameroon. The primary objectives of the IE 2 well are to appraise the
extent and volume of the Isongo Sand 1 in the discovery well IE 1 and explore
the deeper Isongo sands which were water wet in IE 1. If successful, the well
will be suspended to allow for later re-entry and completion as a gas condensate
producer. The well will be drilled to a depth in excess of 8,500 feet and total
operational time is currently estimated at approximately 8 weeks.

Further update announcements will be made as appropriate.

Commenting on this, Kevin Hart, BowLeven's Chief Executive said:

'I am delighted that we have now commenced the drilling programme. With the four
wells to be drilled over the forthcoming months we have an exciting period
ahead.'

Notes to the Editor:

BowLeven is an African oil and gas group, based in Edinburgh and traded on AIM
since December 2004. BowLeven holds, through its wholly-owned subsidiary EurOil
Limited, a 100% equity interest in the Etinde Permit area being three shallow
water blocks in offshore Cameroon, West Africa; namely Blocks MHLP 5, MHLP 6 and
MHLP 7. In total BowLeven has approximately 2,300 km2 of exploration acreage
located across the Rio del Rey and Douala basins in the Etinde Permit. As well
as P50 hydrocarbon reserves and contingent resources on Block MHLP 7 (which has
had 11 wells drilled in it) the total acreage has very attractive exploration
potential. Bowleven has operated in Cameroon since 1999.

The discovery well IE 1 was drilled in 1980 by Total and encountered three sands
at the Isongo level (one partially gas bearing). A drill stem test was taken in
the top Isongo sand in IE 1 and flow rates of 8 mmscf/d of gas and 1,446 bbl/d
of condensate were recorded giving a condensate gas ratio of 180 bbl/mmscf.

The IE 2 well being drilled is located approximately 27 km from the power plant
at Limbe in Cameroon.

BowLeven Plc
19 February 2007



Bowleven plc: Well drilling update

Bowleven plc announces it has now completed drilling and logging operations on
the IE-2 well located in Block MHLP 7 of the Etinde Permit in Cameroon. The
well, which was drilled to appraise the IE-1 discovery made by Total in 1981,
reached a depth of 8675 feet subsea.

Based on petrophysical log evaluation, two hydrocarbon bearing zones have been
identified. The upper zone, located in the Biafra formation at a depth of
approximately 3310 feet, comprises approximately 50 feet of net pay in good
quality gas bearing sandstone. The gas is believed to be relatively dry with few
associated gas liquids.

The lower zone is located in the Isongo formation at a depth of 7850 feet. It
comprises approximately 130 feet of net pay in good quality sandstone and is
believed to contain both gas and condensate. A drill stem test is planned over
this lower interval and a further update will be issued shortly.
