On 24 July 2018, SociÃ©tÃ© Nationale des Hydrocarbures (SNH) granted the Bomana Exploration permit to Perenco plc, which revealed the sole winner of the recent Licensing Round 2018 in Cameroon. The block is located very close to Perencoâs currently producing assets in Rio del Rey area. Therefore, there is a large chance for any potential new discovery in the area to be developed shortly.  This new block includes former Bomana and Lungahe permits. It is covered with 3D seismic data and contains one oil discovery (Bomana Marine-1 in 1992) and one gas discovery (Idenao Marine-2 in 1980). It reportedly contains a number of prospects including an east-west trending roll-over structure, one prospect in the shallow deltaic section and additional leads in the deep turbidite system.
