Tullow Oil has gained approval from the Government of Gabon for the extension of several of its Gabon licences to 2046.

The licence extensions increase the value of Tullow’s resource base through the addition of c.5mmbbls net 2P reserves that will deliver c.100% 2P reserves replacement in Gabon this year.

This activity is in line with the Group’s strategy to focus on its high return production assets in Africa and unlock value through optimisation of its non-operated portfolio. The extensions reflect the future potential of the reserves and resources across the Gabonese assets and the longevity of the Tchatamba facilities as a core hub for Tullow.

Tullow's activities in Gabon include exploration, development and production.

Production in Gabon comes from a portfolio of over 20 non-operated onshore and offshore fields. Gabon is an important contributor to Tullow’s non-operated production, with 2022 net production of c.14,900 bopd.
