The two-year drilling campaign, set to commence in May, aims to enhance oil output and improve operational performance at one of West Africa’s key oil-producing fields.

This initiative follows the completion of Tullow’s previous four-year drilling programme in December 2024, which delivered 18 wells—six months ahead of schedule and under budget. That project was recognized for its strong safety record, efficiency, and cost discipline.

The new drilling effort will be implemented in stages, starting in May 2025, with additional operations planned for November and continuing through 2026. Building on its past successes, Tullow aims to further raise the standard of drilling operations throughout the campaign.

Jean-Médard Madama, Managing Director of Tullow Ghana, stated:

“This marks a significant milestone for us. Resuming drilling underscores our continued commitment to Ghana and our belief in the country’s resource potential. Even as the Jubilee Field matures, we remain confident in its ability to deliver lasting value to our shareholders, partners, and the Ghanaian people.”

Though in a more mature phase, the Jubilee Field continues to play a vital role in production and revenue generation for stakeholders. The new drilling effort is expected to unlock additional value.

Ahead of this campaign, Tullow also completed a 16-day maintenance operation to upgrade systems and minimize risks.
