Dallas-based Kosmos Energy has informed about plans of abandoning Pontoenoe-1 offshore exploration well in Block 42, offshore Suriname due to failure in finding oil. Although Kosmos found high-quality reservoir at the Pontoenoe-1 well, primary exploration showed reservoir to be water-bearing and no commercial hydrocarbons were discovered. Kosmos is the operator of the Block 42, where Hess and Chevron are partners.
