Aug 23 (LNGJ) - Kosmos Energy, the US shareholder in the Senegal and Mauritania floating LNG projects with BP, said it completed the drill stem test 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 combination of high well rates, large connected volume per well together with a gas well-suited for liquefaction is why we believe Tortue is one of the lowest cost greenfield LNG projects,” said Kosmos Chief Executive Andrew Inglis. “The Kosmos-BP partnership remains aligned on delivering a final investment decision for the project in 2018 and first gas in 2021,” he added.
