Kosmos Energy’s stock rose 28.6% after Ghana extended offshore licenses for the West Cape Three Points and Deepwater Tano petroleum agreements to 2040. This extension supports up to $2 billion in new investment, expanded drilling at the Jubilee field, and cost savings through an FPSO acquisition at the TEN fields. The company’s investment narrative is now reinforced, although risks associated with debt, funding costs, and political exposure in Ghana and GTA remain.
