???? 據石油新聞2021年1月29日倫敦報道,專注非洲的英國獨立石油公司圖洛石油公司(Tullow Oil )1月27日在倫敦警告說,由于去年缺乏鉆井活動,加上加納朱比利油田計劃關閉,圖洛石油公司今年的石油產量將下降16%。
????圖洛石油公司表示,去年該公司權益油平均日產量約為7.49萬桶,但今年將降至6.3萬桶。
????圖洛石油公司表示,“這一預測反映了去年的鉆探活動的間斷,加納朱比利油田計劃在9月關閉,以及加蓬辛巴油田的開發鉆井作業延期。”
????英國這家資金緊張的石油公司最近采取了一項新的策略,包括幾乎只專注于擴大其西非近海資產,并縮減其他前沿盆地的勘探規模。
????圖洛石油公司首席執行官Rahul Dhir表示,“這個計劃的重點是確保圖洛石油公司在西非的生產資產充分發揮其潛力。我們將利用新的計劃和我們降低的成本基礎,在當前大宗商品價格下產生正的自由現金流,降低我們的凈債務,并提供穩健的資產負債表。”

????Africa-focused Tullow expects oil production to fall 16% in 2021
????Africa-focused independent Tullow Oil warned Jan. 27 that its oil production will fall by 16% in 2021, caused by a lack of drilling activity last year along with a planned shutdown at the Jubilee field in Ghana.
????Tullow said its working interest production averaged 74,900 b/d in 2020 but this will fall to 63,000 b/d in 2021.
????"This forecast reflects the drilling hiatus in 2020, a planned shutdown in September on Jubilee and deferred development drilling on Simba in Gabon," it said.
????The cash-strapped company recently adopted a new game plan, which involves focusing almost solely on growing its offshore West African assets and scaling down exploration in other frontier basins.
????"The plan is focused on ensuring that Tullow's producing assets in West Africa reach their full potential," said Tullow CEO Rahul Dhir. "We will leverage the new plan and our reduced cost base to generate positive free cash flow at current commodity prices, drive down our net debt and deliver a robust balance sheet."
