Major Projects
Tullow has had significant exploration success in Uganda (Lake Albert) and Ghana (Jubilee, TEN) where two new hydrocarbon provinces have been established and major developments have commenced. The success from these two basins and geological play types has led Tullow to expand its acreage positions in an effort to replicate the transformation success Ghana and Uganda has brought to the business.
In West Africa and across the Atlantic in South America, Tullow has made further Jubilee-like deepwater discoveries and a high-impact exploration campaign continues. In East Africa, Tullow acquired significant acreage positions in Kenya and Ethiopia with the first well in Kenya, in 2012, making an important discovery at Ngamia-1, which was swiftly followed by the success at Twiga South-1. A significant number of exploration and appraisal wells will now be drilled in this region over the coming years as Tullow attempts to open an entirely new oil province.
In Uganda, Tullow has drilled over 50 wells since 2006. Tullow is now working closely with the Government and its partners on a basin-wide development plan with the potential to produce in excess of 200,000 barrels of oil per day.
In Ghana, Tullow and its partners discovered the world-class Jubilee field in 2007 and developed it in record time with production commencing in November 2010, some 40 months after discovery. During 2012, a successful programme of acid stimulation has been carried out on a number of wells to return them to their original productivity. Further development activity continued in 2012 with the Jubilee field Phase 1A Plan of Development (PoD) approval in January 2012, and the first production wells coming on stream before the end of 2012, resulting in Jubilee production reaching around 110,000 bopd in early 2013 and an exit rate for the year expected to be in excess of 120,000 bopd. In November 2012 the Tweneboa-Enyenra-Ntomme (TEN) PoD was submitted to the Government of Ghana.

Famous quotes containing the words major and/or projects:
“When I see that the nineteenth century has crowned the idolatry of Art with the deification of Love, so that every poet is supposed to have pierced to the holy of holies when he has announced that Love is the Supreme, or the Enough, or the All, I feel that Art was safer in the hands of the most fanatical of Cromwell’s major generals than it will be if ever it gets into mine.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
