Kosmos eyes half dozen wells by end of this year

摘要

LONDON-LISTED Kosmos Energy is set to drill six nearfield exploration and appraisal wells by the end of the year in Equatorial Guinea, the US Gulf of Mexico, Senegal and Mauritania. The Equatorial Guinea and US campaigns will target prospects near infrastructure that could house resources of 300 million barrels of oil equivalent or more and, if commercial, would be fast-track, low-cost, high-margin projects. At the other end of the scale, an appraisal well off Senegal aims to delineate the huge Yakaar gas discovery, while a Mauritanian probe aims to find additional gas resources close to the equally large BirAllah gas find.
