In the natural gas sector, the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) Phase 1 project – a joint venture between Kosmos Energy and supermajor bp – exported its first cargo of LNG in April 2025. Production at the field, which straddles the maritime boundary between Mauritania and Senegal, is now ramping up to the contracted sales volume, with potential to push higher towards, or beyond, the nameplate capacity of the floating LNG (FLNG) vessel of 2.7 million tons per annum. The project achieved first LNG production in February after the first well was officially opened in December 2024.
In Equatorial Guinea, Kosmos Energy and its partners recently completed an infill drilling program on the Ceiba and Okume fields and activity is now focusing on well work to support current production levels. In addition, Kosmos Energy is working with the operator to reprocess existing seismic with modern technology to high grade the future infill drilling potential. The company sees opportunity offshore Equatorial Guinea and aims to develop an even deeper understanding of the subsurface before the next drilling campaign. Kosmos Energy holds a 40% participating interest in Block G, where the Ceiba and Okume fields are located, as well as interest in several other exploration blocks.
Inglis’ participation as a speaker at AEW: Invest in African Energies 2025 reflects Kosmos Energy’s commitment to energy development in Africa.
