Drilling Activity Summary

Description

Dallas-based Kosmos Energy has announced that exploration well #1-Marsouin encountered approximately 230 ft of net gas pay in upper and lower Cenomanian intervals, with excellent quality reservoir sands, an offshore Mauritania Block C-8. The discovery is north of #1-Tortue in 7,874 m of water. Next, Kosmos plans to get a drillship ready for #2-Ahmeyim in the southern part of Block C-8, where it will drill the top-hole section of the well. The drillship will then move to offshore Senegal to spud delineation well #1-Guembeul, the first in a series of wells to delineate the greater Tortue area. Kosmos has a 60% working interest in Block C-8.
