Tullow Oil plc is an independent exploration and production company focused on the discovery, development and marketing of oil and gas reserves. Headquartered in London, the company conducts activities across the full upstream value chain, from geological appraisal and drilling to the production and sale of hydrocarbon resources. Tullow’s strategy emphasizes high‐impact exploration prospects alongside the optimization of existing fields to generate sustainable cash flow and reserves replacement.
The company’s core operations are concentrated in Africa, with significant interests in Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea and Uganda. In Ghana, Tullow is a partner in the prolific Jubilee and TEN (Tweneboa, Enyenra and Ntomme) fields, which have underpinned the country’s emergence as a major offshore oil producer. In East Africa, Tullow holds exploration and development assets in Uganda’s Albertine Graben, where it is involved in the Tilenga project, while also participating in regional pipeline initiatives such as the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP).
Since its foundation in 1985 by entrepreneur Aidan Heavey, Tullow Oil has pursued a growth‐through‐exploration model, achieving a series of high‐profile discoveries that have driven reserves growth and positioned the company as a leading explorer in frontier basins. Over the decades, Tullow has divested non‐core assets and reinvested proceeds into deeper water and onshore frontier plays, maintaining a balanced portfolio of long‐life producing assets and high‐potential exploration acreage.
Under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Rahul Dhir, Tullow continues to refine its operational focus and cost structure, while advancing key development milestones and exploration campaigns. The board and senior management team combine sector expertise and regional experience, with a commitment to safety, environmental stewardship and collaboration with host governments and partner organizations in the communities where Tullow operates.
