Commenting on the Company’s first quarter 2021 performance, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
2021 is off to a strong start with momentum building across the business. We have begun infill drilling activities in
FINANCIAL UPDATE
In the first quarter of 2021, 1.5 cargos were lifted from a forecast 12.5 cargos for the full year 2021. As a result of the timing mismatch between production and the lifting of cargos, there was a material underlift of approximately 1.3 million barrels of oil in the first quarter.

OPERATIONAL UPDATE
Production
Total net production in the first quarter of 2021 averaged approximately 53,100 boepd(2), in line with prior guidance.
Production in
At Jubilee, production averaged approximately 70,400 bopd gross during the quarter. Kosmos and its partners continue to focus on higher reliability in
In early 2021, the Jubilee Catenary Anchor Leg Mooring (CALM) buoy was commissioned with the first offloading taking place in February. The CALM buoy will replace the need for shuttle tankers and is expected to reduce operating expenses going forward.
Infill drilling has resumed in the second quarter with drilling planned for three wells on Jubilee and one on TEN in 2021. A long-term rig contract has been entered into for the Maersk Venturer, which arrived on location early in the second quarter. A Jubilee producer well has finished drilling and the rig has now moved to drill a water injector well at Jubilee, after which we expect to complete both wells. The expected impact of these two wells is to increase production by 15,000-20,000 barrels of oil per day gross.
Production in the
In late-February, the Kodiak-2 well was brought back online after successful remediation of the subsea infrastructure issue identified in the fourth quarter of 2020. In April, the Kodiak-3 infill well was also brought online.
After the encouraging results from the Tornado-4 water injection well last year, drilling of the Tornado-5 infill well is now planned by the operator in the second quarter and expected online in the third quarter.
In
Kosmos plans to drill a second ILX well at Zora with a 37.5% operated working interest in the third quarter. The Zora prospect is a Miocene target in the same play as nearby analogous fields such as
Production in
The Okume upgrade project is nearing completion, adding additional power, water injection and gas lift capacity necessary for further facilities de-bottlenecking and additional electrical submersible pumps (ESPs). In April, partners commenced the second phase of the planned ESP program and upgraded the G-19 flowline, which has significantly enhanced production from that well.
A rig has also been contracted for the upcoming infill drilling campaign, which is expected to arrive in country later this quarter to drill the three wells planned this year.
The momentum in Kosmos' production activities in the first quarter can also be seen in the Company's development project. Phase one of the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim LNG project ended the first quarter around 58% complete with material progress across all of the major workstreams, including the FPSO, Floating LNG vessel, hub terminal (concrete breakwater) and subsea infrastructure. The partnership is targeting Phase one to be around 80% complete by year end.
Kosmos expects completion of the FPSO sale and lease-back in the second quarter of 2021 as previously communicated. The process remains on track with documentation being finalized and the government approval process well underway.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDAX, Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss) per share, free cash flow, and net debt are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures used by management and external users of the Company's consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. The Company defines EBITDAX as Net income (loss) plus (i) exploration expense, (ii) depletion, depreciation and amortization expense, (iii) equity based compensation expense, (iv) unrealized (gain) loss on commodity derivatives (realized losses are deducted and realized gains are added back), (v) (gain) loss on sale of oil and gas properties, (vi) interest (income) expense, (vii) income taxes, (viii) loss on extinguishment of debt, (ix) doubtful accounts expense and (x) similar other material items which management believes affect the comparability of operating results. The Company defines Adjusted net income (loss) as Net income (loss) adjusted for certain items that impact the comparability of results. The Company defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less Oil and gas assets, Other property, and certain other items that may affect the comparability of results. The Company defines net debt as the sum of notes outstanding issued at par and borrowings on the RBL Facility and Corporate revolver less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash.
We believe that EBITDAX, Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss) per share, free cash flow, Net debt and other similar measures are useful to investors because they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the oil and gas sector and will provide investors with a useful tool for assessing the comparability between periods, among securities analysts, as well as company by company. EBITDAX, Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss) per share, free cash flow, and net debt as presented by us may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
