Opportunities & Returns
We seek exploration opportunities with play diversity to provide multiple chances of basin/play opening success, and prospect dependency to ensure low-risk follow-on discovery. Our goal is to find high volumes of high-value barrels and strong returns for our investors.
Focus
A Differentiated Approach
Kosmos’ oil and gas exploration approach is differentiated from others in the industry by our strategy and by our proven, repeatable process. Our strategy and plan rely on key areas of focus:
- Business focus – unproven, frontier and emerging areas
- Technical focus – underexplored exploration themes
- Geographic focus – areas with strong commercial terms. Our oil and gas exploration licenses focus on Africa and South America.
- Portfolio focus – Rifle shot approach on selective assets and a limited number of wells to maximize exploration efficiency
Process
Intrinsic to our exploration process is discipline, diligence and determination. We pursue an ideology-based petroleum system analysis in each area of our operations involving hydrocarbon source, reservoir potential and trap evaluation. We believe this approach correctly prioritizes key play elements and de-risks opportunities, leading to a comprehensive perception of risk and reward prediction.
Kosmos is looking for dynamic self-starters to be part of our agile, disciplined, collaborative team.
2008 - Following the Jubilee Field discovery, the World Junior Oil & Gas Congress cited Kosmos for its ability to assemble and lead the “Best Junior Oil Partnership.”
