Located in the Ngosso permit, where Austria’s Mol is the only partner with a 40% stake, the well will be drilled by jack-up Atwood Aurora.
It is likely to spud next month when the rig arrives in Cameroon under a one-year charter deal with Addax — a subsidiary of China’s Sinopec.
The high-pressure, high-temperature probe, which had originally been due to spud in 2012, is expected to take three months to drill.
