en.Wedoany.com Reported - Kosmos Energy has completed drilling the J76 well at the Jubilee field offshore Ghana, the third well in its 2026 drilling program. The well commenced production in mid-June, two weeks later than originally planned.

The Jubilee field averaged approximately 72,000 barrels per day in the second quarter of 2026, with daily production exceeding 85,000 barrels at the end of the quarter. The next well, J77, has already been completed and is expected to come online soon, potentially boosting total Jubilee field output to around 90,000 barrels per day. The final production well in this drilling program, J50, is undergoing completion operations and is expected to come online around the end of July. Additionally, a water injection well is expected to be commissioned by the end of the third quarter, aimed at preparing the northeastern area of the Jubilee field for the 2027-2028 drilling program.

Kosmos Energy's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated that the initial results from J76 and other recent wells highlight the potential of the Jubilee field. He emphasized that the application of modern seismic technology and enhanced reservoir modeling capabilities have strongly supported the drilling of high-productivity wells. As a key offshore oil and gas asset in Ghana, the Jubilee field has continuously undergone infill drilling and water injection optimization since its startup in 2010 to maintain reservoir pressure and improve recovery rates. The smooth progress of this drilling program lays the foundation for Kosmos Energy to achieve its 2026 production targets. The company also holds interests in assets such as the TEN field offshore Ghana and is executing an integrated development strategy across multiple areas.
