Bowleven plc operates within the African oil and gas sector, primarily concentrating on exploration and development initiatives in Cameroon. The company maintains a 25% non-operated stake in the shallow offshore Etinde Permit, an area spanning approximately 461 square kilometers situated in the prolific Rio del Rey Basin. While development plans for Etinde are currently under re-evaluation, the permit is in a "care and maintenance" phase following the termination of a proposed stake sale by a joint venture partner. Incorporated in 2001, the company's head office is located in London, United Kingdom. Bowleven recently delisted from the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange in September 2024 to re-register as a private entity.
