H2 2024, is where the hedging losses reduce and Tullow benefit if higher oil prices remain at higher production rates with more jubilee wells on stream.
At 31 December 2023, Tullow's hedge portfolio provides downside protection for c.60% of forecast production entitlements in the first half of 2024 with c.$57/bbl weighted average floors; for the same period, c.40% of forecast production entitlements is capped at weighted average sold calls of c.$77/bbl. In the second half of 2024, Tullow's hedge portfolio provides downside protection for c.45% of forecast production entitlements with c.$60/bbl weighted average floors; for the same period, c.20% of forecast production entitlements is capped at weighted average sold calls of c.$113/bbl.
For the period from June to December 2024, Tullow's hedge portfolio also includes three-way collars (with call spreads) with weighted average sold calls of c.$85/bbl and weighted average bought calls of c.$94/bbl, providing full access to oil price upside beyond the bought call price on c.10% of forecast production entitlements in this period.
