LONDON--Tullow Oil PLC (TLW.LN) Wednesday maintained its West
Africa working interest oil production guidance, but said
production from Europe is expected to fall slightly due to
deferment and delays in some activities.
Tullow's West Africa working interest oil production full year
guidance of between 78,000 and 85,000 barrels of oil per day or
bopd for 2017, including production-equivalent insurance payments,
remains unchanged.
Full year gas production from Europe averaged 5,600 barrels of
oil equivalent per day or boepd in the year to date, which is
slightly lower than expectations due to deferment and delays in
some activities, it said. Tullow expects full year 2017 European
gas production to now average between 5,500 and 6,000 boepd.
The group expects to generate $0.6 billion of pre-tax operating
cash flow (before working capital) for the first half of 2017. This
is higher than the first half of 2016 as a result of insurance
proceeds, contributions from TEN, and increased contributions from
Jubilee.
The group also expects to incur $0.6 billion pre-tax ($0.4
billion post-tax) of non-cash impairment of property, plant, and
equipment due to reduced oil price forecasts.
Tullow said its capex guidance for the year has been revised
from $0.5 billion to $0.4 billon. This change reflects a revision
to prior year accruals in Ghana and lower forecast expenditure
across the portfolio. The deferred consideration from the Uganda
farm-down, once completed, would further reduce the overall Group
capex for 2017 to $0.3 billion, the company said.
