Kosmos energy announces OIL DISCOVERY
IN THE U.S. Gulf of mexico
DALLAS, Texas, October 11, 2023 - Kosmos Energy (NYSE/LSE: KOS)
announced today an oil discovery in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico at the
Tiberius exploration well. Kosmos is operator of the well and has a
33.34% working interest alongside Occidental and Equinor ASA (both
33.33%).
The Tiberius exploration well tested a four-way structural trap
in the outboard Wilcox trend, located in Keathley Canyon Block 964.
The well encountered approximately 250 feet (75 meters) of net oil
pay in the primary Wilcox target. Wireline logging has been
completed and casing is currently being run to the target depth to
enable the well to be used as a future oil producer. The Tiberius
well is located in approximately 7,500 feet (2,300 meters) of water
and was drilled to a total vertical depth of approximately 25,800
feet (7,800 meters).
Kosmos will now undertake rock and fluid analysis to confirm the
production potential of the reservoir and will work with partners
on subsea development options. The discovery is located
approximately 6 miles southeast of the Occidental-operated Lucius
SPAR production facility, enabling a short tie-back in the event of
a development.
Andrew G. Inglis, Kosmos Energy's chairman and chief executive
officer said: "Exploration success at Tiberius validates our proven
basin infrastructure-led exploration strategy, which is focused on
low cost, short cycle development opportunities. The Gulf of Mexico
is an advantaged basin with top quartile carbon emissions, and
discoveries like Tiberius can bring lower carbon U.S. supply to
meet near-term growing oil demand."
