DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 31, 2015--
Kosmos Energy Ltd. (“Kosmos”) (NYSE: KOS) announced today that the
borrowing base under its reserves-based lending facility has remained
unchanged at $1.5 billion following its lenders’ semi-annual
redetermination process. For the first time, the borrowing base
calculation includes value related to the Tweneboa, Enyenra and Ntomme
(TEN) development project in Ghana, as well as the Jubilee field. Total
undrawn availability on the reserves-based lending facility remains $1
billion as of March 31, 2015.
“Growing reserves with healthy margins – even in a lower oil price
environment – enabled Kosmos to maintain its considerable borrowing
power under the credit facility. The quality of our Ghana assets
supported the favorable outcome of the redetermination process,” said
Thomas P. Chambers, senior vice president and chief financial officer.
“Lenders’ inclusion of the TEN project in the redetermination process
represents an important vote of confidence in our belief that Ghana
ultimately will prevail in its maritime boundary arbitration with Cote
d’Ivoire. With our liquidity re-affirmed, we remain well positioned
financially to execute our exploration and development programs.”
