News Release
Tullow receives licence extensions in Kenya
7 December 2020 - Tullow Oil plc ("Tullow") is pleased to
announce that Tullow and its Joint Venture partners have received
extensions to their exploration licences for Blocks 10BB and 13T in
Kenya to the end of 2021. This follows the approval of the work
programme and budget for next year by the Ministry of Mines and
Petroleum.
As announced at the Group's recent Capital Markets Day, the
licence extensions will allow the Joint Venture partners to
re-assess Project Oil Kenya and design an economic project at low
oil prices whilst preserving the phased development concept. In
parallel, over the coming months, the Joint Venture partners will
work closely with the Government of Kenya on land and water
agreements, gaining approval of the Environmental and Social Impact
Assessments and finalising the commercial framework for the
project. The successful completion of this work will enable the
submission of Field Development Plans to the Government of
Kenya.
Rahul Dhir, Chief Executive Officer of Tullow Oil Plc, commented
today:
"I would like to thank the Government of Kenya for granting this
extension which the Joint Venture partners will use to fully
re-assess the development concept for this important project."
