The US independent is now considering dropping the rig owner's unit as it hunts around for other available hardware to drill an exploration well off Ghana.
The deep-water drilling rig Transocean Marianas was due to arrive at Kosmos' Cedrela-1 well on or around 10 July to begin drilling. However, NYSE-listed Kosmos said this will now not happen as the rig has been "rendered temporarily inoperable" following what it termed "a reported anchor-handling incident" on the Three Points Block nearby.
