???? 據(jù)石油新聞2021年1月29日倫敦報(bào)道,專注非洲的英國獨(dú)立石油公司圖洛石油公司(Tullow Oil )1月27日在倫敦警告說,由于去年缺乏鉆井活動(dòng),加上加納朱比利油田計(jì)劃關(guān)閉,圖洛石油公司今年的石油產(chǎn)量將下降16%。
????圖洛石油公司表示,去年該公司權(quán)益油平均日產(chǎn)量約為7.49萬桶,但今年將降至6.3萬桶。
????圖洛石油公司表示,“這一預(yù)測(cè)反映了去年的鉆探活動(dòng)的間斷,加納朱比利油田計(jì)劃在9月關(guān)閉,以及加蓬辛巴油田的開發(fā)鉆井作業(yè)延期。”
????英國這家資金緊張的石油公司最近采取了一項(xiàng)新的策略,包括幾乎只專注于擴(kuò)大其西非近海資產(chǎn),并縮減其他前沿盆地的勘探規(guī)模。
????圖洛石油公司首席執(zhí)行官Rahul Dhir表示,“這個(gè)計(jì)劃的重點(diǎn)是確保圖洛石油公司在西非的生產(chǎn)資產(chǎn)充分發(fā)揮其潛力。我們將利用新的計(jì)劃和我們降低的成本基礎(chǔ),在當(dāng)前大宗商品價(jià)格下產(chǎn)生正的自由現(xiàn)金流,降低我們的凈債務(wù),并提供穩(wěn)健的資產(chǎn)負(fù)債表。”

????Africa-focused Tullow expects oil production to fall 16% in 2021
????Africa-focused independent Tullow Oil warned Jan. 27 that its oil production will fall by 16% in 2021, caused by a lack of drilling activity last year along with a planned shutdown at the Jubilee field in Ghana.
????Tullow said its working interest production averaged 74,900 b/d in 2020 but this will fall to 63,000 b/d in 2021.
????"This forecast reflects the drilling hiatus in 2020, a planned shutdown in September on Jubilee and deferred development drilling on Simba in Gabon," it said.
????The cash-strapped company recently adopted a new game plan, which involves focusing almost solely on growing its offshore West African assets and scaling down exploration in other frontier basins.
????"The plan is focused on ensuring that Tullow's producing assets in West Africa reach their full potential," said Tullow CEO Rahul Dhir. "We will leverage the new plan and our reduced cost base to generate positive free cash flow at current commodity prices, drive down our net debt and deliver a robust balance sheet."
