DALLAS, April 17, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kosmos Energy (NYSE/LSE: KOS) notes the announcement today from bp plc (operator) that the first cargo of liquified natural gas (LNG) has been safely loaded from the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) LNG project, offshore Mauritania & Senegal.

The first shipment of LNG was transferred to the "British Sponsor" LNG carrier from Golar LNG’s floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) vessel located approximately 10 kilometers offshore, where the natural gas was liquefied and stored. The first cargo was fully loaded at approximately 174,000 cubic meters of LNG. A second LNG carrier is currently waiting near the hub terminal in preparation for the second cargo lifting.

The announcement of the first cargo shipment follows first gas production in late 2024 and first LNG production in February. The first cargo lifting is when Kosmos and its partners start to recognize revenue and is another key milestone for the project. The FLNG vessel has a nameplate capacity of 2.7 million tonnes per annum.

Commenting on the first LNG cargo lifting at GTA, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Andrew G. Inglis said: "The first LNG cargo is a significant milestone, enabling Mauritania and Senegal to become gas exporting nations from this project of national strategic importance. We continue to work with bp, SMH and PETROSEN to safely ramp up the project to its full capacity as well as deliver expansion that leverages the infrastructure put in place for this initial phase."

Story Continues

Management does not provide a reconciliation for forward looking non GAAP financial measures where it is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the occurrence and the financial impact of various items that have not yet occurred, are out of our control or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, management is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. Forward looking non GAAP financial measures provided without the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding GAAP financial measures.
