7 August 2024 - Tullow Oil plc ("Tullow"), the independent oil and gas exploration and production group ("Group"), announces its Half Year Results for the six months ended 30 June 2024.

Rahul Dhir, Chief Executive Officer, Tullow Oil plc, commented today:
"During the first half of 2024, Tullow has continued to deliver strong operational and financial performance. We are pleased to report improved results across key financial metrics compared to the first half of 2023; with higher production and oil price realisations combined with lower expenditure. The Ghana drilling programme was also completed safely, and ahead of schedule.
"We were delighted to reach a major milestone by taking final investment decision (FID) of our nature-based carbon offset initiative, in partnership with the Ghana Forestry Commission. The project will deliver certified carbon offsets in line with Tullow's 2030 Net Zero target, while bringing broader positive impacts to the local community.
"We now progress into a period of lower capex in the second half of the year and beyond. We will continue to reduce debt through sustainable free cash flow generation, strengthening our balance sheet and providing optionality for investment, growth and future returns."
1. Company is making significant profits whilst oil prices remain low.
2. Oil prices are certain to rise especially with middle east uncertainty and pressure from Saudis.
3. Substantial Director buys in last two months.
4. Tullow working hard to reduce debt to under $1bn and improve balance sheet.
5. Short positions being closed or lowered recently.
In my opinion SP is massively undervalued and looking for a 50% return in 12 months on current share price levels.
Be Patient.
