Kosmos Energy is a deepwater oil and gas exploration and production company that discovers, develops, and produces crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids from offshore fields across West Africa and the Gulf of America. The company operates a full-cycle business model spanning exploration through production optimization, with major operations in Ghana, Equatorial Guinea, Mauritania, Senegal, and the Gulf of America, where it produces through floating storage and offloading vessels and sells output at international benchmarks. Revenue derives from crude oil sales, long-term natural gas and liquefied natural gas contracts, and associated production streams, with returns managed through varying fiscal regimes by jurisdiction and hedging programs to manage commodity price exposure.
