Privately-held New Age (African Global Energy) said on Oct. 18 its appraisal well to determine the extent of the Etinde Field offshore Cameroon was successful.

Partners in the field comprise Bowleven and Lukoil.

The company said its recently completed second well, IE-4, was targeted 2.8 km northwest of the discovered IE Field.

A 12-m interval of the well was tested at a flow rate of 17.1 million standard cubic feet of gas per day and 8,780 barrels of oil per day, New Age said.

New Age has 15 oil and gas concessions in Congo-Brazzaville, Cameroon, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Morocco, South Africa and Kurdistan, with so-called 2P reserves of circa 350 million barrels of oil equivalent.
