PREPARING
TO DRILL
MOROCCO
Kosmos embarks on a number of pre-drilling activities to enhance company
and country readiness for increased operations and potential success.
This phase of the project lifecycle usually involves establishing a larger
and more visible presence in the country, evaluating potential supply chain
partners, assessing and upgrading critical infrastructure, completing formal
environmental and social impact assessments, deepening stakeholder
engagement, and refining and implementing a social investment strategy.
These activities often occur simultaneously in the lead up to drilling.
Kosmos is helping to
set the standard for
how the industry does
business in Morocco.
Over the next few years, Morocco will see
a surge in oil and gas activity as several
prominent companies take steps toward
drilling exploratory wells. Kosmos is drilling
the FA-1 well in the Foum Assaka block offshore Agadir in the first half of 2014. As one
of the first companies to explore offshore
Morocco in recent times, Kosmos is helping
to set the standard for how the industry
does business in the country.
