Project Profile
Value: Undisclosed
Location: Niger River Delta play bordering the Rio del Rey Basin
Area: 434,000 gross acres
Start-up Year: 2013
The Ndian River Block is a Niger River Delta play bordering the Rio del Rey Basin, long established as productive. Previous oil and gas drilling offshore in the region has confirmed the existence of a significant working hydrocarbon system. Kosmos is focusing on the under explored northern extension of the late Cretaceous/lower Tertiary turbidite play. The company anticipates commencing drilling in early 2013 its first operated well in Cameroon, Sipo-1, located on the Liwenyi prospect. With focus on minimising the company\'s onshore footprint, operations include a rig transported by helicopter to the drilling location.
