Five
partners with proven track records in the oil and gas industry,
including West Africa, established Dallas-based Kosmos Energy
in 2003. Kosmos’ founders,
who include some of the industry’s most successful
oil finders, possess the executive leadership capabilities
and technical expertise to generate and participate in
significant exploration and development projects. All were
members of the Triton Energy management
team that gained renown for delivering pre-eminent shareholder
value.
A major capital investment by blue-chip
industry and private equity partners, as well as
company management, provides Kosmos with a robust financial
foundation to acquire, explore and develop West African oil
and gas ventures.
The founders’ vision is to create a sizable, high-value
exploration and production company. Their strategy: aggressively
pursue
drill bit success. Kosmos is targeting oil plays in emerging
basins and established provinces primarily offshore Africa’s
west coast. This promising venue offers unparalleled business
opportunity with a significant potential resource base, a highly
competitive industry cost structure and supportive governments
eager to develop their countries’ natural resources.
