Gas Handling – The Key to Monetising Resources • Etinde resources are predominately gas-associated liquids. • In order to realise the value of Bowleven’s existing discoveries, finding a solution for the associated gas is key. • In common with nearly all African countries, Cameroon has only a small but rapidly expanding market for gas. • Until very recently the Cameroon Government had a strong preference for any Cameroon gas, including Etinde gas, to be earmarked for use in aggregated LNG (GdF) scheme. • Whilst gas sales to a third party is clearly preferable it is not a pre- requisite to development as alternative ‘in house’ solutions exist. • Commercialising gas is a key objective of the work programme that has been agreed by the JV for 2012. • Production will provide the cashflow base for ongoing development – plus further exploitation of the existing extensive prospect inventory. 12 26 MARCH 2012 INTERIM RESULTS PRESENTATION
