Tullow Oil plc is an independent oil and gas exploration and production company founded in 1985 and headquartered in London. The company is listed on the London Stock Exchange and its American Depositary Receipts trade over-the-counter in the U.S. under the ticker TUWOY. Since its inception, Tullow has focused on building a portfolio of upstream assets across frontier and emerging markets.
Tullow’s core activities encompass exploration, appraisal, development and production of hydrocarbons. Its most prominent producing asset is the Jubilee field offshore Ghana, which began commercial production in 2010. The company also holds interests in the TEN (Tweneboa, Enyenra and Ntomme) development project in Ghana and is a partner in the Lake Albert development in Uganda. In addition to its West and East African operations, Tullow maintains exploration licences in South America, including Guyana and Suriname.
Over the years, Tullow has grown through key acquisitions, such as the purchase of Energy Africa in 2004 and Hardman Resources in 2007, which expanded its West African footprint. The company operates regional offices in Accra, Nairobi and Kampala, supporting a multi-disciplinary team of technical, commercial and operational staff. Tullow’s discovery track record and its focus on deep-water and onshore frontier basins underpin its strategy to replenish reserves and extend field lifecycles.
Leadership at Tullow includes founder Aidan Heavey, who guided the company through its early growth phase, and current Chief Executive Officer Rahul Dhir, appointed in 2020. Under their stewardship, Tullow continues to pursue disciplined capital allocation, operational efficiency and partnerships with national oil companies and international energy firms to unlock value in its core regions.
