General interest regarding the Cameroon' National Hydrocarbons Corporation (SNH) and data gathering:

27 May 2017

I can give you the example of Gaz du Cameroun, which exploits the gas from the Logbaba field. This field was discovered before independence by another operator. When Gaz du Cameroun obtained a concession on this field, it sought, apart from information on the old wells, seismic data from 1979-1980 in order to reprocess them and thus improve the underground imagery before embarking on The drilling of new wells.

http://neoindependance.canalblog.com/archives/2017/05/27/35326539.html


Also of interest (although 2 years old now) and where I didn't realise that data from all wells is available to view:

A database at the disposal of operators The Petroleum Information Centre of SNH makes available to oil companies:

- well data (samples, various reports, logs);
- geophysical data (seismic, gravimetric, magnetometric);
- various technical studies available on paper and electronic medium.

Moreover, the Centre, which markets the data on paper and electronic medium, generates updated and digitalised maps.

Also of interest:

Reliable partners

SNH partners with various iternational companies notably Glencore, Murphy, EurOil
(subsidiary of Bowleven), Noble Energy, Dana Petroleum, Addax Petroleum, Kosmos Energy, Yang Chang, Perenco and Gaz du Cameroun (a subsidiary of Victoria Oil & Gas).

From the Preliminary Results 26th May 2017

The Logbaba Engine Room
 
We have built this Company on the Logbaba gas deposit and for the near future Logbaba will still be the "engine room".  Our focus in 2016 was to significantly increase production - this was achieved.  Each year more than a hundred thousand new connections are made onto the power grid in Douala to satisfy the demands of people and businesses. This growth is not stopping, so last year we committed to drill two more development wells at Logbaba with the aim of increasing our Proven (1P) Reserves and to create two additional production wells. Drilling is ongoing, with target depths of both wells at the base of the Logbaba Formation, some 3,200m below surface.
 
The Logbaba drilling programme, which experienced a delayed start, is progressing, despite some challenges. These are complex, high temperature, high pressure wells.  However, we are very excited that over 125m of gross gas bearing sands have been encountered in La-108. This is significantly more than the 85m of gross pay found in La-105 in 2010. When the wells are completed we expect to be transferring a portion of our Probable Reserves into the 1P category.  The completion of the drilling programme will also trigger our processing plant expansion project to double the plant capacity to 40mmscf/d. This will enable us to supply more gas and take advantage of some of the bigger and longer term supply opportunities in the region.
 
In 2016, GDC's gas distribution network grew 15km into the expanding Bonaberi industrial area of the city.  Early this year, we reached the 50km milestone of pipe laid, an outstanding credit to the Company and in particular our 100% Cameroonian pipeline team.  Additional thermal customers along this extension were commissioned pre and post year-end.  Douala's economy continues to grow and our gas network contributes to the attractiveness of the port city to new industrial businesses. We are witnessing this first-hand through our sales enquiries in GDC.
 
The uninterrupted gas supply to ENEO's two power stations over the course of the first two-year contract has been a successful milestone for GDC.   The renewal negotiations are ongoing and ENEO continues to consume GDC gas at normal consumption rates for this time of year given the demand for power in Douala.  Once results for the drilling programme are known, GDC will then be in a position to commit to negotiations that have been ongoing for some time with additional larger gas-to-power projects.
 
What we continue to achieve in Cameroon is exceptional.

Eneo, a subsidiary of the British firm Actis, extends the collaboration of eight months with the Saudi Altaaqa and the British Gaz of Cameroon
Thursday, 22 June 2017

(Investing in Cameroon) - Eneo, a subsidiary of the UK-based Actis, said it had just extended its contracts with Altaaqa (Saudi Arabia) and Gaz du Cameroun (a subsidiary of the operator) British Oil & Gas) until December 31 for the 50 MW of the Bassa-Logbaba gas plant.

The contract was originally signed in April 2015 for a period of two years. It was extended until the end of 2017. That is, eight months longer. The cost of this partnership between the two parties with Eneo at the beginning was 20 billion FCFA. " On the financial front, prorogation resulted in negotiations that resulted in reductions of around 16% on the price of gas and almost 33% on the rental price of the groups. Eneo retains these capacities as an emergency solution pending the commissioning of new works, in particular the Memvele dam (+200 MW). The 50 MW of installed capacity is available for the South Interconnected Network (RIS), "explains the Cameroonian subsidiary of the British Actis.

The Logbaba plant was developed at two Eneo technical sites in Douala. In Bassa, it is 16 groups with a capacity of 20 MW and in Logbaba, it is 24 groups with a capacity of 30 MW. Each has an installed capacity of 1,475 MW. Under the terms of the contract, Altaaqua has installed 40 turnkey machines for the production of electricity from the gas supplied to Eneo Gaz of Cameroon. Eneo Cameroon therefore pays for the rental of groups and the supply of gas.

Eneo estimates that between 71 and 73 GWh of energy it will inject into the RIS by December 31, 2017.

Thanks to the Lom Pangar dam, Cameroon has just crossed "the quietest water in 10 years," according to electrician Eneo
Friday, 23 June 2017

(Investing in Cameroon) - Electricity demand in Cameroon increased by 9% this year, Eneo said in correspondence to the Minister of Energy and Water on 16 June. This increase in demand led to an additional production requirement of 50 MW, one learns.

Despite this increase in demand, however, electricity consumers did not feel the usual load shedding (particularly in the southern part of the country, as the situation in the three northern regions has worsened). Are often more intense during the low-water period due to the decline in production, which is itself induced by the reduction of water levels in the country's dams.

At the origin of this improvement in the electricity supply observed in the South interconnected network, Eneo supports a combination of two major factors. First, according to the firm controlled by the British investment fund Actis, is the " impoundment of the dam at Lom Pangar, which made it possible to obtain a regulated flow of the Sanaga between 960 m3 / s and 1090 M3 / s , thus offering " the Songloulou and Edéa power stations to produce nearly 10% more energy than last year at the same time, ie 193 GWh ".

Then, it is officially learned that the work carried out in the plants has made it possible to obtain higher machine availability rates (from 91% to 93% in the hydro and from 66 to 83% in the thermal sector). For example, the rehabilitation of the Limbe plant in the south-west region has, for example, increased the production capacity of this 33 MW infrastructure, compared to an additional 6 MW for the Bafoussam thermal power station And 12 MW for the Oyobang plant in the Central Region.

But, above all, the main catalyst of this upturn in electricity supply this year (even if grid failures continue to induce breaks in the distribution of electricity in several cities), stresses According to Eneo, is the regularization of flows on the Sanaga River (which accounts for about 75% of the country's hydroelectric potential), made possible by the impoundment of the Lom Pangar dam, built in the region of ballast.

Built by the Chinese company CWE, the Lom Pangar dam, with a water storage capacity of 6 billion cubic meters of water, is the largest ever built in Cameroon. Its partial watering in September 2015, when it had already retained more than 3 billion cubic meters of water, had already allowed a less painful management of low water 2016. This hydroelectric development also integrates the construction of a water- A 30 MW plant with a production capacity under construction by China Camc Engineering.

Cameroon: production of Logbaba gas plant could double to 100 MW, according to VOG's DG

Tuesday, 27 June 2017

(Invest in Cameroon) - Following the recent renewal of the contract with its partners, Gaz du Cameroun (supply of natural gas) and Altaaqa Global (independent energy producer from thermal power stations), Eneo, Electricity in Cameroon could soon double the production capacity of the Logbaba plant in Douala to 100 MW.

At least that is what Ahmet Dik, director of Victoria Oil & Gas (VOG), the British oil and gas operator who owns 100% Gaz of Cameroon, whose CEO is also Dik. "We are working with Eneo to create long-term solutions, using natural gas for more than 100 megawatts of power generation," he told Proactive Investors UK , a UK-based financial reporting platform . For now, the two parties " need time ", in order to finalize "the technical and financial elements" of a contract on this increase in energy supply.

A total investment of CFAF 20 billion by Eneo, the Logbaba gas plant was inaugurated on 28 April 2015 in Douala, the economic capital of Cameroon, in order to meet a rapid increase in demand for Electricity in the country. Built in three months by Altaaqa Global, this energy infrastructure is supplied by Gaz de Cameroon (GDC), through which VOG develops the Logbaba gas field.

Logbaba Drilling Update
 
Victoria Oil & Gas Plc ("VOG" or "the Company") is pleased to provide an update on the two well drilling programme at the Company's Logbaba gas production site, located in the industrial port city of Douala, Cameroon.
 

Highlights

·    Net sands encountered so far of 100m in La-108 and 35m in La-107 have exceeded expectations
·    Drilling to continue and is expected to increase net pays of both wells
·    300m high-pressure flowline from the La-107 well head to the gas processing plant has been installed
·    Flow testing and production from La-107 is expected in Q3 2017
 
The programme consists of well La-107, a twin of La-104, which was originally drilled in 1957; and a step out development well, La-108, both of which will be production wells. 
 
In well La-108, approximately 100m of net gas-bearing sands have been encountered between the top of the Logbaba Formation at 1,670m TVD (true vertical depth) and 2,702m TVD. La-108 has 9⅝" casing set to 1,597m TVD. The La-108 8½" side-track was deferred until an in-depth engineering review of the plan was completed and the rig was therefore skidded to drill well La-107. The La-108 side-track plan is now ready to implement.
 
On La-107, the 8½" hole section has been drilled to 2,445m TVD, wireline logs have been run and the 7" production liner has been run and cemented at 2,426m TVD. Well logs to this depth so far indicate net 35m of high permeability, high porosity gas bearing sands in the Upper Logbaba Formation.
 
Drilling on La-107 will continue, with a 6" hole targeting the base of the Lower Logbaba sands. On reaching this target, the well will be logged prior to running a 4½" liner, and, when completed can be put directly into production. A 300m high-pressure flowline from the well head to the gas processing plant has been installed. Production from La-107 is expected in Q3 2017.
 
It is then planned to skid the rig back to sidetrack and complete well La-108.
 
Net sands encountered so far of 100m in La-108 and 35m in La-107 have exceeded expectations and compare favourably to net sands of 54m encountered in primary production well La-105. 
 
Planned completion of both wells is now in Q3 2017. The Company anticipates that GDC's share of well costs will be covered by cash generation and existing credit facilities.
 
The Company, which is the only gas producer in the Douala region believes there is current demand for 150 mmscf per day in Douala.
 
 
Ahmet Dik, CEO, said; "Our success so far on La-107 in securing 35m of gas-bearing reservoir sands in the Upper Logbaba is very positive news. We shall continue drilling and completion work on La-107 through to production, before moving back to drilling and completing La-108.
 
The net sands encountered so far of 135m in both wells is very encouraging, especially when compared to the 54m of net sands encountered in our primary production well La-105, so our focus is getting all gas "behind pipe" and into production within Q3.  
 
This is a challenging drilling program, with two deep, high-pressure, high-temperature wells that have been slow and expensive to drill. Our drilling team have worked tirelessly to drill below 2,000m, a depth where only a handful of wells have been successfully drilled in the Douala Basin."

Victoria Oil & Gas hails double well success in Cameroon - results exceed expectations
28 Jun 2017

La-107 and La-108, next to the existing operation on the Logbaba production site, found a combined 135 metres net gas pay, which exceeded expectations.



Victoria Oil & Gas plc (LON:VOG) chief executive Ahmet Dik described as “very positive” the results from two new wells it is drilling at a site outside Cameroon’s second city, Douala.

La-107 and La-108, next to the existing operation on the Logbaba production site, found a combined 135 metres net gas pay, which exceeded expectations.

To put this latest data into context, the original producing well, La-105, found 54 metres of gas-bearing sands.

READ: Our Big Picture overview of VOG

La-107 has so far tapped into a section measured at 35 metres; however work is ongoing and this is expected to expand the net pay as the drill-bit nudges into the Lower Logbaba sands.

The Upper Logbaba is described as host to high permeability, high porosity sands, which should make it reasonably straightforward to flow gas.

La-108 uncovered 100 metres of net pay. A side-track planned for the well was deferred to allow La-107 to be drilled. Once this well has been completed the rig will be ‘skidded’ back to La-108 site for the side-track.

CEO Dik was full of praise for his team: “This is a challenging drilling program, with two deep, high-pressure, high-temperature wells that have been slow and expensive to drill.

“Our drilling team have worked tirelessly to drill below 2,000 metres, a depth where only a handful of wells have been successfully drilled in the Douala Basin."

VOG said completion of both wells will take place in the third quarter. It also revealed estimates demand for gas in Douala, where it supplies local businesses who use it to generate electricity, to be 150mln standard cubic feet per day.
