The Parliamentary Select Committee on Energy, led by its Chairman and Member of Parliament for Ho West, \xa0Emmanuel Bedzrah, has completed a working visit to Tullow Ghana’s Jubilee and TEN oil fields in the Western Region.
“In Ghana we have already taken actions to address the recent underperformance at Jubilee, with further optimisation potential identified. We have recommenced drilling and have successfully completed and brought onstream the first of two planned 2025 production wells at Jubilee, with better than expected net pay during drilling,” said Richard Miller, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Interim Chief Executive Officer of Tullow Oil.
Tullow Oil plc (Tullow) is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed the sale of its assets in Gabon to the Gabon Oil Company (GOC) following satisfaction of all conditions precedent under the Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA), with the full proceeds now received by Tullow.
Ghana’s oil and gas sector is showing clear signs of resurgence, underscored by Eni’s recent declaration of commerciality for the Eban-Akoma complex in the Cape Three Points Block 4.
Tullow Oil Plc and Kenya’s Gulf Energy Ltd. have secured an extension to submit a development plan for fields in Kenya, a crucial step to completing a sale of the assets.
Under the terms of the MoU, the partners have committed to drilling up to 20 additional wells in the Jubilee field, with investments totalling up to $2 billion over the life of the licences. The partners expect a material increase in gross 2P (proven and probable) reserves, while new measures will also aim to boost gas supply and reduce costs to consumers.
According to the statement, the agreement brings together Tullow Oil plc, Kosmos Energy, PetroSA, the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), and Explorco, and will see the West Cape Three Points (WCTP) and Deep Water Tano (DWT) licences—home to the Jubilee and 10 fields—extended by 15 years.
Tullow ended a decade-long quest to develop discoveries in April, when it sold the inland fields for $120 million to Gulf Energy, a Nairobi-based oil and gas trader. Tullow has announced divestments in recent months toward reducing its debt below $1 billion this year.
“This is an exciting moment for us. The restart of drilling reflects another milestone in our journey in Ghana and shows our confidence in the country’s resource base,” Jean-Médard Madama, Managing Director of Tullow Ghana said in a statement. “Even as the field matures, we are confident in its capacity to deliver value—for our shareholders, partners, and the people of Ghana.”
Commenting on the recognition, Tullow Ghana Managing Director, Jean-Medard Madama said: “It is always a pleasure when you are recognised for the commitment and dedication to your line of business. We are grateful to the Chartered Institute of Supply Chain Management for acknowledging our hardwork with these awards.
