  • Capital expenditures: $117 million

  • Achieved first gas production at the GTA LNG project in December; first LNG production achieved in February 2025

  • Secured the Noble Venturer drilling rig for the 2025/2026 Jubilee drilling campaign; commenced a 4D seismic survey over Jubilee and TEN in January 2025

  • Maintained AAA rating with MSCI

Commenting on the Company’s 2024 performance, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Andrew G. Inglis said: "In 2022, we set out a goal to materially grow production from several key projects across our portfolio. 2024 was a year of delivering those projects, with continued 2P reserve growth and production now increasing as the projects ramp up. With the end of this highly capital-intensive period for the company we will now prioritize the generation of free cash flow from our increased production base together with disciplined capital investment. Our forecast 2025 capex budget of $400 million is a reduction of over 50% from recent years.

Operationally, we were pleased to see first gas production at GTA at the end of 2024, followed earlier this month by first LNG production, two significant milestones for the project, its partners and the people of Mauritania and Senegal. The first cargo is currently being prepared for loading. GTA is a world-scale asset in the Kosmos portfolio and with the initial capital intensive phase complete, we can focus on delivering the full potential of the asset with significant room to grow production and cash flow.
