Cameroon

Perenco has operated in Cameroon since 1993, as a partner with ExxonMobil and SNH, Cameroon's state-owned hydrocarbon company.

Perenco's principal assets in Cameroon comprise:

  • Moudi and Ebome Marine concessions 
  • Sanaga Sud gas permit
  • Kombe-Nsepe exploration permit
  • Rio Del Rey concessions

As part of an overall programme to optimise production, Perenco maintains an active well work-over programme on the Moudi Field with ESP, gas lift, and sand control.

At Ebome Marine, Perenco has constantly offset the natural decline by an aggressive programme of satellite developments. Following the initial KF development in 1997, the KB field was developed in 2004, followed by BAF-3 in 2006, which has exceeded all forecasts.

On Kombe-Nsepe, Perenco is pursuing an ambitious Exploration Programme with two high pressure/ high temperature wells. This makes Perenco a leader in terms of onshore exploration in the country.

In 2008, Perenco and state company SNH signed the first ever upstream Gas Sales Agreement on Sanaga to produce gas for an onshore power plant.

Perenco took over as operator of the Rio del Rey concession fields in 2011; total production from the fields Perenco now operates peaked at around 130,000 bopd in 1987. Since then, production has declined to the current level of around 36,000 bopd.

Perenco is pressing ahead with plans to develop the Dissoni Nord discovery made in 2005. A number of other discoveries, smaller in volume and currently seen as non-viable, will require the kind of field development techniques in which Perenco specialises.

Dissoni Nord will stabilise operated production at 40,000 bopd by around mid-2012, and is thus of major economic importance for Cameroon.
