I think Goldman published a note yesterday saying that there is too much risk premium baked into the oil price currently and that we would actually need material supply disruptions for it to stay above $70.
I think the various overhangs on TLW (No Ceo, Ghana etc...) are stopping it re-rating upwards. Once these things start to get sorted I think this should have days where it moves +5%.
"The company hedges Oil all the time. When Oil gets to $80pb (and it will) Tullow can take some large hedges out."
If they are already hedged then they want to take hedges out now otherwise they wont capture the increase in oil prices. Taking them out when oil is at $80 will mean they have missed all the increase.
