Tullow Oil plc (TLW)

Tullow Oil plc is a leading independent oil and gas exploration and production company headquartered in London, United Kingdom, with over thirty years of experience in Africa and emerging markets. Founded in 1985 in Ireland by Aidan Heavey as a gas exploration business in Senegal, it has grown through strategic acquisitions, including BP's North Sea gas fields in 2000 and Energy Africa in 2004, expanding operations across Africa, South America, and beyond. The company holds interests in numerous licences—historically up to 86 across 22 countries—and focuses on key producing assets in West Africa, particularly the Jubilee and TEN fields in Ghana, alongside operations in Gabon, Côte d’Ivoire, and Equatorial Guinea. It pursues a balanced strategy of high-impact exploration, selective development of discoveries, and maximising low-cost production, while advancing projects in East Africa like Uganda's Lake Albert Rift Basin and Kenya's South Lokichar Basin. Tullow Oil plc emphasises responsible development, sustainability, and creating value for stakeholders including host countries, shareholders, and employees, positioning it as a significant player in monetising Africa's oil resources.
