Kosmos picks Bn bbl Senegal oil targets as partner hunt thins

摘要

Kosmos is close to finalising the locations for three wells targeting billions of barrels of oil off Mauritania and Senegal in the middle of next year and expects to sign up a partner for this, and its giant FLNG project, before then. The company is trying to fast-track the 15 Tcf of existing reserves in the Tortue/ Ahmeyim find that straddles Block C8 in Mauritania and St Louis Offshore Profond in Senegal. A final investment decision is expected in 2018 and it had been talking to the Golar/Schlumberger alliance OneLNG about partnership.
