Talk:Kosmos Energy/Archive 2

Proposing article updates (2019)
Hi there, I'm here again to make some suggestions to improve this article, as it has been about two years (late 2017) since I last requested any edits to this article. In the meantime, it has not been edited much, so there are several outdated facts throughout the article. As disclosure, I do have a financial conflict of interest, as I am here on behalf of Kosmos Energy, working with agency Ogilvy through my work at Beutler Ink.

As I did previously, I've put the updates into my userspace here: User:16912_Rhiannon/Kosmos_Energy_2019. You can also see the changes compared with the current article, in  Unlike my requests in 2017, these are not major additions or rewrites: mostly the changes are focused on bringing operations details up-to-date, such as confirming current locations of activity. Since there are a few different changes, and some are smaller asks than others, I'll also post individual requests here to break it down and hopefully make for an easier review.

Edit request: Infobox
For the infobox, I'm asking to make the following changes to bring it up-to-date:
 * Key people: Adding Tracey Henderson as new Chief Exploration Officer
 * Revenue: Updating to latest full year reported figure
 * Net income: Updating to latest full year reported figure
 * Total assets: Updating to latest full year reported figure
 * Number of employees: Updating to latest figure per Kosmos most recent annual report

Due to my COI, I would prefer an uninvolved editor review and place the updates if they look ok. Beagel, perhaps you can look at this? Thanks! 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 15:39, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

Edit request: History
Hi there, again. I'm back to make another round of suggestions. For History, I'm asking to make the following changes to bring it this article up-to-date and also reflect some critical media coverage from earlier this year regarding the company's work in Senegal. Specific changes are as follows:
 * In the paragraph about work in Cap Boujdour: Updating verb tense to past tense
 * At the end of material regarding work in Morocco and Western Sahara: Adding sentence on Kosmos' February 2018 withdrawal
 * Marsouin-1 exploration well: Noting subsequent name change to "Bir Allah"
 * New content:
 * Adding details of a BBC Panorama documentary on Kosmos Energy's work in Senegal, summarizing the claims and response
 * Updating with major projects in 2018

You can see how these changes compare with the current article in 

The full updated History draft is below:

 * Thank you very much for updating the article and for your extra clean up! Your review is much appreciated. I did want to note one thing: It looks like you didn't include my proposed text surrounding the critical BBC Panorama documentary re: Senegal. I wanted to bring that up here in case that was left out accidentally. Here's the text from my draft:
 * The chain of ownership through which BP acquired the blocks was examined in a BBC Panorama documentary in June 2019. The programme alleged corruption in dealings over the blocks before they were acquired by Kosmos, resulting in allegedly disproportionate royalties paid by BP to businessman Frank Timis. Both Kosmos and BP deny wrongdoing.


 * What do you think about adding this into History where the Senegal blocks are discussed?


 * Thanks again for your help! 16912 Rhiannon (Talk &middot; COI) 17:20, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

Edit request: New developments for Operations
Hi there, again. Sorry to be following up so soon, I'm back to request a couple of small new additions based on very recent developments. For Operations, I'm asking to add new discoveries in Mauritania and Equatorial Guinea. Specific changes I'm proposing are in green below -- can these new sentences be added to the relevant sections?

Due to my COI, I would prefer an uninvolved editor review and place the updates if they look ok.
