Kosmos Energy has completed the Kodiak-3 well workover and started up the subsea pump facilities at the Odd Job Field, both in the US Gulf of Mexico (GoM).
These have helped lift the company’s production in the GoM to about 20,000 boe/d, up by 40% on the first quarter. OneSubsea and Subsea7 supplied and installed the subsea multiphase boosting system and associated 16-mi power and control cable, connected to the Delta House floating production system platform.
Elsewhere in the sector, Kosmos and its partners expect to take FID on the phased 100-MMboe Tiberius development, with long lead items and a drilling rig secured. To help manage the costs, the company plans to farm down its interest.
At the recently onstream Winterfell Field, operated by Beacon Energy (Kosmos 25%), a third development well should start production next month. Gross production from the first phase of the development should hit 20,000 boe/d when all three initial wells are online.
Enhanced imaging from recent ocean-bottom node seismic, calibrated with data from the first three Winterfell wells, strengthens the likelihood of about 100 MMboe being recovered via the five first-phase wells, also supporting additional upside potential in adjacent prospects.
