Kosmos to explore for oil in Cameroon
Reuters Translate This Article
12 January 2012
YAOUNDE (Reuters) - U.S. Kosmos Energy signed an agreement with Cameroon's state oil company SNH on Thursday allowing it to explore in the central African state's offshore Fako block, SNH said.
Kosmos will invest 9 billion CFA francs to explore within the 1,289-square-km block, which sits near Cameroon's productive Rio del Rey and Kribi-Campo basins, for six years, SNH said in a statement.
The deal was signed by the vice president of Kosmos' Cameroon subsidiary Christopher Stone and SNH manager Adolphe Moudiki, SNH said. It adds to Kosmos' exploration efforts in two other Cameroon blocks, Kombe-N'Sepe and Ndian River.
Kosmos, backed by private equity firms Blackstone Group and Warburg Pincus, is focused on frontier areas in Western Africa and South America.
It helped discover in 2007 the Jubilee oil field offshore Ghana, which began pumping in late 2010.
Cameroon is one of Africa's oldest oil producers but has seen output slump to around 65,000 bpd from 185,000 bpd at its peak in 1985.
