If Carapa strike happens and it turns out to be 100M barrel find, that is roughly 28,000 barrels per day of which 37.5% (10,000) go to Tullow. Next year Tullow have two more wells to drill in that block. Suppose one is like a Carapa strike and then we are back to 90,000 barrels a year again by 2022.
Of course Uganda, Kenya and probably many other African countries will be complaining that actions by the World Bank favouring ENI in Ghana are damaging developments in their own countries where Tullow is a partner. I suspect some public servant in the World Bank is having a lot of headaches and a committee being set up to pass on all the mess they have made may well require a fast acting resolution which incidentally does not look good for the Ghanaian Government either. This may result in retraction of penalties that the World Bank want to impose on Ghana and allow ENI and Tullow to share gas supplies to the Ghana utilities in question and the World Bank resolves spill over problems that are easily done in Africa by funding institutions. Such events can benefit Tullow very quickly.
I will continue to add to Tullow, I believe this share will recover next year.
