Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On February 11, 2020, Kosmos Energy Mauritania
and Kosmos Energy Investments Senegal Limited (affiliates of Kosmos Energy Ltd.), BP Mauritania Investments Limited and BP Senegal
Investments Limited (affiliates of BP plc), La Société Mauritanienne Des Hydrocarbures et de Patrimoine Minier (the
National Oil Company of Mauritania) and La Société Des Pétroles du Sénégal (the National Oil
Company of Senegal), collectively (the “Seller Group”) and BP Gas Marketing Limited (the “Buyer”) signed an LNG Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”).
Pursuant to the terms of the SPA and subject
to the more detailed provisions and conditions set forth therein:
|
·
|
Annual Contract Quantity: The Seller Group will sell and make available for delivery from the Greater Tortue/Ahmeyim
Field located offshore Mauritania and Senegal, and the Buyer will take and pay for, or pay for if not taken, cargoes of liquefied
natural gas (“LNG”) with an annual contract quantity of 127,951,000 MMBTU (the “ACQ”) (equivalent
to approximately 2.45 million tonnes per annum). The ACQ is subject to limited downward adjustment by the Seller Group.
|
|
·
|
LNG Production and Transportation: The Buyer will lift LNG cargoes free on board (FOB) from a loading terminal adjacent
to the floating LNG production facilities.
|
|
·
|
Sales Price:
The Buyer will pay the Seller Group a price for LNG set as a percentage of a crude oil
price benchmark for the ACQ volumes (the “ACQ Sales Price”). Cargos
will be invoiced and paid for cargo-by-cargo. For LNG quantities delivered during the
commissioning period and for LNG quantities delivered annually in excess of the ACQ,
the Buyer will pay a price equal to the lower of the ACQ Sales Price or a percentage
of a gas index price with a fixed deduction for transportation and other costs.
|
|
·
|
Term: The SPA has a ten-year term that commences on the “Commercial Operations Date”, which occurs after
completion of certain LNG project facilities’ performance tests. The SPA allows for the Seller Group to extend the SPA term
for up to an additional ten years.
|
|
·
|
Take or Pay and Make-Up: The Buyer is subject to a cargo-by-cargo take or pay commitment with make-up rights.
|
|
·
|
Seller Group’s Failure to Deliver: If the Seller Group fails to make available all or part of a cargo (except
as a result of force majeure (as defined within the SPA) or due to the fault of the Buyer), the Seller Group shall pay an amount
equal to the difference between the scheduled cargo quantity and the quantity actually taken, multiplied by a defined percentage
of the applicable sales price.
|
|
·
|
Termination Rights: Customary default-based suspension and termination rights apply to each of the Seller Group and
the Buyer under the SPA.
|
The foregoing description of the SPA is not complete
and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the SPA, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to Kosmos Energy
Ltd.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K later this year.
Item 8.01 Other Events
