| Statement |
|---|
| We've had a good start to the year injecting record levels of water into the field and plan to continue optimizing injection support this year |
| Rising production and falling CapEx drive strong cash generation through year end into 2025, with rapid deleveraging towards our target debt levels |
| The frame that we're using going forward is that $550 million and we're confident that we can sustain the base production, which is a composite and important element both in Ghana, Gulf of Mexico and actually in Guinea in that $300 million to $350 million, which enables that $200 million to $250 million to pursue those selected growth projects |
| And finally, as we deliver the energy the world needs, we strive to be a force for good in the countries we operate in, accelerating economic and social progress across our host nations |
| The Kosmos team is excited about the year ahead and energized to deliver on our strategic objectives |
| It's a positive that we have greater control through operatorship and we want to work within a framework where we can deliver that long-term growth |
| Kosmos has a unique investment case with a world-class portfolio, differentiated growth in the right assets and strong free cash flow outlook |
| The quality of the portfolio is highlighted by the 1P reserve replacement ratio in 2023 of over 100%, which reflects the strong reserve additions at Jubilee, as we brought Jubilee Southeast on stream |
| Alongside our oil assets, we're building out our advantaged gas position, which will lower the overall intensity of the products we sell |
| As we deliver our current phase of development projects and then pursue selected investment opportunities, we expect more measured growth and our free cash flow profile to improve significantly |
| And finally, we expect to see significant improvement in free cash flow, as we move out of the current development phase with CapEx expected to fall with the start-up of both Winterfell and Tortue this year |
| I'm also pleased that we're making progress with the NOCs and BP on a concept to accelerate Phase 2 ahead of BP's previous timeline |
| I'm proud of our progress in 2023 |
| So I feel good about the way that the base has been performing as we enter the year and actually have sort of been through the first two months |
| It's an exciting time for our Gulf of Mexico business with expected near-term production increases from Winterfell and our production optimization activity to be followed by an operated Tiberius development providing the next leg of growth |
| With a targeted 50% increase in production by year end 2024, as measured against the first half of 2022, we expect our free cash flow to grow materially at mid cycle oil prices |
| These adjacent and nearby blocks provide additional near field upside beyond the Tiberius discovery and can support the phased development of the Greater Tiberius area |
| Second, we have meaningful growth |
| And we remain excited about the future potential of the Greater Winterfell area |
| As discussed earlier in the materials, production is growing with fourth quarter production of 66,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, up 12% year-on-year |
| That commitment starts at the top with our Board of Directors down through leadership and to all of our employees and supports our ability to deliver long-term value to all of our stakeholders |
| It allows us to strengthen the balance sheet, pay down the debt and at that point then move forward to shareholder returns |
| So, it's a positive that we have the hopper |
| We do this through growing production, which leads to increased revenues and royalties for the countries |
| This may provide an opportunity in the future to crystallize some value from our gas portfolio and accelerate our financial resilience |
| Supplying the energy the world needs today and meeting growing future demand must be done in a responsible way that not only provides affordable and reliable energy, but also provides sustainable growth and benefits to our host countries |
| Both of these are high return projects, which should accelerate future production |
| This was further enhanced in 2023 with the addition of three new Board members that bring unique perspectives and new ideas that help continue to support Kosmos' growth |
| With growing production and falling CapEx, we're reaching an important inflection point with quarterly free cash flow expected to be in the $100 million to $150 million range, once the current phase of developments is delivered |
| We achieved a lot with production growing through the second half of the year as the first of our major development projects came online at Jubilee Southeast and we remain on track to achieve our production growth target by the end of this year |
| Statement |

| We did record an impairment to 10, reducing the carrying value down to zero, reflecting an anticipated reduced activity set together with well performance |
| So, it's hard to get started and I think we clearly struggled with Tortue to get it there |
| Production for the year was in line with the updated guidance we provided last quarter with 4Q production at the lower end of the range due to the water injection issues that Jubilee flagged earlier |
| And I think that makes life a little tougher to be confident about when and if things might happen |
| As these projects deliver, CapEx is expected to fall sharply |
| Predicting when the PoD could be approved is tough |
| They haven't delivered quite what we'd hoped |
| Robert Brackett Returning back to the GTA FPSO and the issue around repair of fair leads |
| There is a pause in U.S |
| We struggled to do that, really in the third quarter of last year, but really from about sort of November time onwards, we've been injecting water at record levels, and they've been at 100% voidage replacement, probably in the prior three months of that, it was as low as 40% when the water injection was down |
| Charles Meade Andy, I wonder if you could -- this is a question about EG |
