BOSTON, MA, Jan 24, – The leading national securities law violations firm Gilman Law LLP announces a securities law violations lawsuit against Kosmos Energy, Ltd. (“Kosmos Energy”) KOS -1.09% and certain of its officers and directors. The suit alleges that the company violated US Federal Securities Laws by issuing false and misleading information concerning the Company’s overall operational and financial condition and well-being resulting from significant problems in the Company’s oil wells in its Jubilee oil field project in Ghana.
Shareholders allege that Kosmos Energy concealed that its Jubilee oil field project in Ghana was underperforming and failed to disclose certain design defects in its oil wells.
A shareholders class action lawsuit for violations of securities laws was commenced in the Texas state court on January 10, this year. The complaint alleges that Kosmos Energy failed to disclose the design defects in the oil wells, even though Kosmos Energy was aware of this prior to the IPO. The complaint further alleges that Kosmos Energy failed to disclose that its oil field was underperforming at or around 80,000 barrels of oil per day, instead of the expected 120,000 barrels of oil per day, up to and during the IPO.
The design defects in the oil wells and the underperforming oil field has cost shareholders hundreds of millions of dollars. In November, Kosmos told investors in a conference call that it would cost a considerable amount in 2012 to fix the defects in the oil wells, and would delay the expected production levels by years.
