Senegal/Mauritania: Fifth successful well for Kosmos

Kosmos Energy has announced another gas discovery with the Teranga-1 exploration well in Senegal’s Cayar Offshore Profond Block. The well was drilled to a total depth of 4,485 metres in nearly 1,800 metres of water and encountered 31 metres of gas pay in the Lower Cenomanian objective. “Well results confirm that a prolific inboard gas fairway extends approximately 200km from the Marsouin-1 well in Mauritania through the Greater Tortue area on the maritime boundary to the Teranga-1 well in Senegal,” Kosmos said.
