Kosmos Energy is a leading deepwater exploration and production company focused on meeting the world’s growing demand for energy. Our assets include oil production and exploration in proven basins offshore Ghana, Equatorial Guinea, and the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, as well as a world-class gas development offshore Mauritania and Senegal.

We aim to create value for our stakeholders by maximizing the value of our producing assets and adding new resources through infrastructure-led and play-extending exploration in the proven basins where we operate.

Kosmos searches for every opportunity to increase production and grow cash flow. We work with our partners on facilities and surface changes, lift optimizations, well re-completions, water injection, and infill and step-out drilling.

Kosmos focuses on infrastructure-led and play-extending exploration in proven basins — such as the Gulf of Mexico and Rio Muni basin offshore Equatorial Guinea — where discoveries can be tied back to existing production facilities more quickly, at lower cost, and with a lower overall carbon intensity.

Our approach to development is designed to deliver first production on an accelerated timeline, leverage early learnings to improve future outcomes and maximize returns. In certain circumstances, we believe a phased approach can be employed to optimize full-field development. This helps to minimize upfront capital costs, reducing execution risks through smaller initial infrastructure requirements, and enabling cash flow from the initial phases of production to fund a portion of capital costs for subsequent phases.

Kosmos Energy Donates Refrigerated Van Worth $50,000 To Ghana Health Service To Support COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution

ACCRA – July 22, 2021 – Kosmos Energy donated a state-of-the-art refrigerated van worth approximately US$50,000 to the Ghana Health Service (GHS) during a ceremony held earlier today. The van – a 2021 Hyundai HD 45 Truck with an installed Xarios 350 refrigeration system – was presented to Mr. Patrick Kuma-Aboagye, Director General of the Ghana Health Service.

Commenting on the donation, Mr. Joe Mensah, Kosmos Energy’s Senior Vice President and Head of the Ghana Business Unit, said: “Distributing the COVID-19 vaccine to as many people as possible is a critical task during the ongoing pandemic. We are pleased to do our part to support the Ghana Health Service as it works to vaccinate Ghana’s citizens.”

Mr. Patrick Kuma-Aboagye, Director General of the Ghana Health Service, said: “We thank Kosmos Energy for supporting our work to improve public health. This gesture of support came at the right time – when the number of COVID-19 cases are increasing and we need to transport vaccine doses to all 16 regions of the country.”

The Ghana Health Service currently operates two temperature-controlled vehicles and recognized the need for an additional vehicle to aid its immunization program for COVID-19 and other diseases.

This is not the first time Kosmos Energy has stepped forward to support the important work of the Ghana Health Service. Last year, Kosmos Energy donated equipment and supplies worth up to US $50,000, including an automated DNA/RNA extraction machine, along with 700 RNA extraction test kits and 1,500 swabs and transporters.
