“The clear highlight of 2016 was delivering Ghana’s second major oil and gas development, the TEN fields, on time and on budget. Production from TEN, alongside our other West African oil production, has provided Tullow with positive free cash flow and enabled us to begin the important process of deleveraging our balance sheet. As we focus our free cash flow primarily on reducing our debt, capital discipline remains critical. We have made excellent progress with our East African developments and are building a high quality exploration portfolio to grow our business. As I move to become Chairman of the Group and hand over to Paul McDade, Tullow has the right assets and expertise to take full advantage of the opportunities ahead.”

FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

The West Africa Business Delivery Team focuses on Tullow’s production and development projects in West Africa. This includes Tullow’s two flagship operated assets, the Jubilee and TEN fields in Ghana, and a portfolio of non-operated production assets in five further countries across the region. The West Africa Business Delivery Team also manages the Group’s UK and Netherlands gas production, which is part of an ongoing divestment plan.

Tullow’s history began in North-West Africa when it acquired its first African licence in Senegal in 1986. Since then the region has grown to become a core area of Tullow’s operations. The transformational acquisition of Energy Africa in 2004, added a further five producing countries to the portfolio.

The Jubilee field, in Ghana, is Tullow’s largest producing asset and along with TEN, which came on stream in August 2016 and the Group’s portfolio of non-operated assets, the West Africa business unit generates significant low-cost production and increased cash flows for the business.

GhanaTullow has interests in two licences offshore Ghana. In 2007, two successful exploration wells discovered the substantial Jubilee field, which straddles the Deepwater Tano and West Cape Three Points blocks. In November 2010, the Jubilee field was brought on stream having been successfully developed in 40 months by Tullow (the operator) and its Partners.

In February 2016, an issue with the turret bearing of the Jubilee FPSO Kwame Nkrumah was identified and Tullow and its JV Partners established that the preferred long-term solution is to convert the FPSO to a permanently spread-moored vessel, with offtake through a new deep-water offloading buoy. The first phase of this work, involving the installation of a stern anchoring system, is expected to be completed in February 2017. The next phase of the project will involve modifications to the turret systems for long-term spread-moored operations. The capital costs associated with the remediation works, the lost revenue resulting from the shutdown period, and the increased operating costs are expected to be covered by the Joint Venture Hull and Machinery insurance policy and Tullow’s corporate Business Interruption insurance policy.

In 2016, Jubilee production averaged 73,700 bopd (26,000 bopd net). In addition, the Group received insurance payments which equates to 4,600 bopd of net equivalent production under Tullow’s corporate Business Interruption insurance to cover downtime associated with the turret issue. Tullow expects 2017 production from the Jubilee field to average 68,500 bopd (net: 24,300 bopd), assuming 12 weeks of shutdown associated with the next phase of remediation works. Tullow’s corporate Business Interruption insurance policy is expected to

reimburse Tullow for the equivalent of 12,000 bopd of annualised net production for this shutdown period, increasing Tullow’s effective net production to around 36,300 bopd in 2017.

In December 2015, the Partners submitted the Greater Jubilee Full Field Development Plan, relating to a long-term investment programme across the Jubilee field and the Mahogany and Teak areas. Tullow has sought to address comments made by the Government of Ghana on the plan and in light of the current Turret Remediation Project, approval of the plan by the Government is now expected in mid-2017.

Tullow’s second development in Ghana, the TEN Project, came on stream in August 2016 and gross annualised working interest production in 2016 averaged 14,600 bopd (net: 6,900 bopd).

Eleven production wells have been drilled which are connected through subsea infrastructure to an FPSO vessel with a capacity of 80,000 bopd, moored in approximately 1,500 metres of water. At present, no additional wells can be drilled due to a maritime border dispute between Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire, and therefore Tullow is managing the existing wells in a prudent and sustainable manner. As a result, Tullow expects production from TEN to be around 50,000 bopd (net: 23,600 bopd) in 2017, although work continues to evaluate ways to increase production. A final ruling on the maritime border dispute is anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2017 and drilling is expected to resume in 2018.

Non-operated & Europe productionTullow has oil development and production activities in Congo Brazzaville, Côte d’Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon and Mauritania. Average daily net production in 2016 from these fields was 27,800 bopd. Due to low oil prices, capital expenditure was reduced substantially across a number of these fields in 2016. While this reduced investment helps maximise near-term cashflow it does impact the rate of production decline, and as a result 2017 forecast production across the West African non-operated portfolio is expected to be around 22,000 bopd net. There is flexibility to increase capital investment in the medium term to offset production decline in these mature assets, as market conditions improve. Tullow also has gas production in the UK and the Netherlands which averaged 6,200 boepd in 2016.

TULLOW AT A GLANCE

The East Africa Business Delivery Team is responsible for realising value from the significant oil discoveries made in Uganda and Kenya to date. The team is focused on progressing the development of these discoveries and continued exploration activity across the Group’s extensive acreage position.

KenyaTullow’s onshore acreage in Kenya includes Blocks 10BA, 10BB, 12A, 12B & 13T. Tullow operates all five of these blocks, with a 50% interest in four of them and a 40% interest in Block 12A.

The acreage covers the Kenya Rift Basins where a significant number of leads and prospects have been identified. Exploration drilling commenced in January 2012 with the Ngamia-1 wildcat well in Block 10BB which made a significant oil discovery. The result demonstrated that substantial oil generation has occurred in the South Lokichar Basin, which is one of many basins identified on the acreage.

This basin opener has since been followed by further exploration success with a total of 10 discoveries being made with a mean gross resource estimate of 750 mmbo in the basin. Significant remaining exploration prospectivity supports an upside potential of 1 billion barrels of oil and further exploration drilling to test this upside commenced in December 2016. The first well in a planned four-well programme was Erut-1, located at the northern limit of the basin. The well discovered a gross oil interval of 55 metres with 25 metres of net oil pay, proving that oil has migrated to the northern limit of the South Lokichar basin and de-risking multiple prospects in this area. The drilling programme could be extended by up to four additional wells, depending upon the results from the initial wells.

Good progress continues to be made on the upstream development in Kenya and water injection trials continue, Environmental and Social Impact Assessments (ESIA) baseline surveys are nearing completion and Front End Engineering Design (FEED) is expected to commence in the second half of 2017.

A Joint Development Agreement between the Government and Tullow and its Partners is being finalised, setting the framework for the pipeline development from the South Lokichar Basin to the port of Lamu.

An Early Oil Pilot Scheme (EOPS), which involves the transportation of early South Lokichar oil production to Mombasa by road, has been sanctioned by the Joint Venture Partners. The EOPS will use existing upstream wells and oil storage tanks to initially produce approximately 2,000 bopd gross in 2017. This early pilot scheme will provide important information to assist in full field development planning.

UgandaSince entering the Lake Albert Rift Basin in 2004 through the acquisition of Energy Africa, Tullow has drilled over 80 wells and discovered 1.7 billion barrels of gross recoverable resources. In January 2017, Tullow announced that it had agreed a farm-down of its assets in Uganda to Total. Under the Sale and Purchase Agreement, Tullow has agreed to transfer 21.57% of its 33.33% Uganda interests to Total for a total consideration of $900 million. The consideration is split into $200 million in cash, payable at various milestones, and the remaining $700 million is in deferred consideration. The deferred consideration is payable to Tullow as the upstream and pipeline projects progress and Tullow expects it to cover its share of upstream and pipeline development capex to first oil and beyond.

Upon completion, which is expected in 2017, the farm-down will leave Tullow with an 11.76% interest in the upstream and pipeline projects. This is expected to reduce to a 10% interest in the upstream project when the Government of Uganda formally exercises its right to back-in.

The development in Uganda continues to progress following the Government of Uganda’s decision to route an oil export pipeline through Tanzania to the port of Tanga. Production Licences have been awarded and the Government of Uganda has also made significant progress on the constitution of both the Petroleum Authority to regulate the oil industry and the Uganda National Oil Company which will be the Government representative in the Uganda Joint Venture.

The first phase of the upstream ESIA has been completed with the second phase in progress. FEED for both the upstream and pipeline are expected to commence in February 2017. Overall, the Government and JV Partners continue to aspire to achieve FID by the end of 2017, with first oil expected to occur around three years after.

TULLOW AT A GLANCE

The New Ventures Business Delivery Team is responsible for Tullow’s frontier exploration and appraisal activity across Africa and South America. The team is tasked with managing and replenishing Tullow’s exploration portfolio with high-potential prospects and finding high value oil at low-costs, in areas with commercially attractive licence terms.

Tullow continues to actively manage its New Ventures portfolio through both licence acquisitions and farm downs of existing acreage to optimise the allocation of exploration expenditure. Notwithstanding a lower exploration budget, Tullow continues to successfully replenish and high-grade its exploration portfolio, and believes that the portfolio should give the Group significant low-cost opportunities for the future.

AfricaTullow has New Ventures exploration interests in Mauritania, Namibia, and most recently Zambia. In June 2016, the Group extended its East African rift play acreage through the award of Petroleum Licence 28, onshore Zambia, giving the Group access to three further unexplored basins. Tullow initially plans to acquire an FTG survey in Zambia in 2017 and if results are positive, the Group will then acquire a 2D seismic survey over the block.

Tullow is focused on exploring in low-cost, shallow water acreage and in both Mauritania and Namibia. The team has shifted its attention to shelf-edge plays and continues to asses a number of leads and prospects. The Group is planning to acquire 3D seismic offshore Mauritania in June 2017.

South AmericaTullow has significant exploration acreage in South America, with offshore exploration licences in Guyana, Suriname, Uruguay and Jamaica. The region continues to be an area of strong interest for Tullow and other industry parties. Tullow is particularly focused on offshore low-cost, light oil plays which can be targeted with simple wells.

Plans are ongoing to drill the high impact Araku prospect (Tullow: 30%), offshore Suriname, in the second half of 2017. This prospect is a large structural trap which has a resource potential estimated at over 500 mmbo. It has been significantly de-risked by a 3D seismic survey carried out in 2015, which identified geophysical characteristics that are consistent with potential oil or gas effects in the target reservoirs. The well is expected to cost $14 million net to drill.

In Guyana, Tullow and its Partners continue to evaluate and map prospectivity in the offshore Kanuku and Orinduik licences. The Orinduik licence is immediately up-dip of the significant Liza-1 discovery made by Exxon in 2015. A 6,000 sq km 3D seismic survey is

planned on both the Kanuku and Orinduik licences in 2017.

Offshore Uruguay, a 2,500 sq km 3D seismic programme commenced in January 2017 to capture data over high-quality leads identified in Block 15 in the Pelotas Basin.

In Jamaica, a 2D seismic survey has been completed over the 32,056 sq km Walton Morant licence and results will delineate potential plays in shallow water. Tullow will acquire a further 680 km of 2D seismic data in 2017, before considering the acquisition of a 3D seismic survey.
