Tullow Oil completed the pre-emption related to the sale of Occidental Petroleum’s interests in the Jubilee and TEN fields in Ghana to Kosmos Energy.
The cash consideration paid on completion was $118m, reflecting closing adjustments, and was funded from cash on the balance sheet
The transaction takes Tullow’s equity interests to 38.9% in the Jubilee field and to 54.8% in the TEN fields, and adds ~5k b/d of unhedged daily production
This equates to ~4k b/d on an annualized basis and increases 2022 group production guidance to 59k-65k b/d
The additional equity also increases Tullow’s 2022 capex forecast by $30m to $380m and is seen generating ~$300m incremental free cash flow at $75/bbl in 2022-2026
