Jubileey,
Just thought i'd correct you on this aswell for today!
"Uganda Represented half of our reserves, we sold between 600 million and 1 billion barrels of reseves (our stake) for less than a dollar per barrel."
Okay, so at the time of sale, Tullow's has back-in rights of 15% of whole stake (5% of Tullow's stake) following development of Uganda.
So technically, Tullow sold 28.3% of stake (which would have been 476m of RESOURCES) for $575m + contingent payments and WITHOUT CAPITAL GAINS TAX (for sale and for future contingent payments).
That's equivalent to $1.2/barrel RESOURCE - not accounting for future contingent payment.
Also, it means that Tullow doesn't have to spend $4.3b developing those resources into reserves.
And ofcourse, the sale provided Tullow with +$575m liquidity going into this year.
