June 2018
Potential drilling locations and resource potential estimates have not been risked by the Company. Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be
ultimately recovered from the Company’s interest may differ substantially from these estimates. There is no commitment by the Company to drill all of the
drilling locations that have been attributed these quantities. Factors affecting ultimate recovery include the scope of the Company’s ongoing drilling program,
which will be directly affected by the availability of capital, drilling and production costs, availability of drilling and completion services and equipment,
drilling results, agreement terminations, regulatory approval and actual drilling results, including geological and mechanical factors affecting recovery rates.
Estimates of reserves and resource potential may change significantly as development of the Company’s oil and gas assets provides additional data.

Kosmos – The Case for Investment
Kosmos is positioned for the upturn: well-capitalized, pure-play deepwater company with growing
production, a pipeline of development opportunities, and a balanced exploration portfolio
• To meet growing energy demand, the world needs both deepwater and shale
– The shale and deepwater companies with the best portfolios and the best execution will be successful
– Premium acreage positions and terms, coupled with low costs drive attractive returns
• Lower costs and less competition are making the deepwater more attractive
– Majors returning to frontier deepwater exploration
– Industry consolidation, attrition, or a re-focus on shale creates significant opportunities for leading independent
explorers like Kosmos to play with and alongside the majors
– Recent success in opening world-class basins (e.g. Mauritania/Senegal, Guyana), fewer players, bigger fields
(e.g. Liza, Tortue, Yakaar)
– Continuing cost deflation is reducing capital intensity, facilitating business execution and maximizing returns
• Kosmos has a balanced portfolio with growth from production, development and exploration assets
2
Kosmos: Stronger Portfolio, More Balanced Growth
Leveraged the downturn to our advantage, built a balanced production, development and
exploration portfolio
2. Low-cost, competitively positioned Tortue gas project provides next phase of growth
– 15 Tcf resource base supports development of 10 mmtpa scheme
– On plateau, 10 mmtpa scheme would be expected to generate substantial, steady long-term annual cash flow
– $533mm BP development carry funds substantial portion of Kosmos share of initial phase (2.5 mmtpa),
establishing infrastructure for full development and providing early cash flow
– 20 Tcf discovered resource base in Yakaar/Teranga adds potential for second hub
3. Sustainable exploration program with balance of proven, emerging, and frontier basins offering multiple
catalysts in 2018, 2019, and beyond (2-3 wells/year)
– Proven: Short cycle tie-back (Equatorial Guinea)
– Emerging: Prove up plays with follow on opportunity (Mauritania, Senegal, Suriname)
– Frontier: Capture significant position in petroleum system to fully explore (Sao Tome & Principe, Cote d’Ivoire)
1. Operating cash margin defined as Brent price less opex and cash taxes for Ghana and Equatorial Guinea 3
Deepwater Now More Attractive
Kosmos is ideally positioned as a pure deepwater company with a substantial portfolio of
prospectivity to take advantage of lower costs and reduced competition
