During the third quarter of 2017, gross sales volumes from
The Jubilee FPSO turret remediation project has continued to make good
progress during the year. Following the spread mooring of the FPSO at
its current heading in late February, optimization of the offtake
procedures has allowed the Jubilee field to regularly produce in excess
of 100,000 bopd. The Jubilee partners and the Government of
In mid-October, the partnership received approval for the Greater
Jubilee Full Field Development Plan (GJFFDP) from the Government of
Production from TEN in the third quarter averaged approximately 60,000 bopd. In September, the Special Chamber of the International Tribunal of the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) issued its final decision in the maritime boundary dispute between the Governments of Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. The maritime boundary delimited by the Special Chamber’s decision had no impact on the TEN field’s production or reserves or otherwise on the company’s interests in Ghana. The partnership expects to resume TEN development drilling in early 2018 to ramp up production with additional wells to the FPSO capacity of 80,000 barrels of oil per day.
In August, Kosmos completed the drill stem test (DST) of the Tortue-1 well, demonstrating that the Tortue field is a world-class resource and confirming key development parameters including well deliverability, reservoir connectivity, and fluid composition. The Tortue-1 well flowed at a sustained, equipment-constrained rate of approximately 60 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) during the main, extended flow period, with minimal pressure drawdown, providing confidence in well designs that are each capable of producing approximately 200 MMcf/d.
In September, Kosmos closed a farm-in agreement to acquire a 15%
non-operated participating interest in Block C18 offshore
In early November the ENSCO DS-12 drilling rig completed plugging and
abandonment operations at the Hippocampe-1 location offshore

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDAX, Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted net income (loss) per share 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) depletion and depreciation, (ii) exploration expenses, (iii) interest and other financing costs, net, (iv) unrealized (gain) loss on commodity derivatives, (v) income tax expense, (vi) equity-based compensation, (vii) (gain) loss on sale of oil and gas properties, (viii) restructuring charges and (ix) similar other material items, which management believes affect the comparability of operating results. The Company defines adjusted net income (loss) as net income (loss) after adjusting for the impact of certain non-cash and non-recurring items, including non-cash changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, cash settlements on commodity derivatives, gain on sale of assets, and other similar non-cash and non-recurring charges, and then the non-cash and related tax impacts in the same period.
We believe that EBITDAX, Adjusted net income (loss), and Adjusted net income (loss) per share 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. Because EBITDAX, Adjusted net income (loss), and Adjusted net income (loss) per share excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income, these measures as presented by us may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
