issues update on
Logbaba well La-108

Victoria Oil & Gas, the Cameroon based gas
and condensate producer and distributor, has
provided an update on the Logbaba well La-108,
onshore Cameroon.
Perforations have been successfully added to
well La-108 safely and under budget
As a result, an additional 42 metres of net pay
