LONDON, July 15 (Reuters) - Private equity-backed Kosmos Energy is still mulling a possible sale of its Ghanaian oil interests, despite securing a loan to fund the fields' development, industry sources familiar with the matter said on Wednesday.

The potential sale of its stakes in two oil blocks offshore Ghana, which analysts said could raise $3-5 billion, is one of a number of options Kosmos is considering, including an initial public offering and the sale of a stake in Kosmos itself.

"The process continues," one source familiar with the matter said.

A second source said interested parties had been invited to submit bids by a July 29 deadline.
