Africa-focused independent oil and gas producer, Tullow Oil Plc said it is progressing a rig contract for a new offshore drilling campaign in Ghana that could include up to 10 wells starting in the second half of 2027, as the company seeks to expand production from its Jubilee and TEN fields.
The London-listed oil producer said the proposed 2027-28 drilling programme, known as Campaign 2, will be supported by high-quality subsurface data from recently acquired 4D seismic and Ocean Bottom Node surveys, which have improved well targeting during the current drilling campaign.
Tullow said three production wells brought onstream under its ongoing 2025-26 drilling programme have delivered output in line with or above expectations. A final well, the J73-WI water injector, is scheduled to come onstream in September.
The company said it is also advancing a pipeline of near-term projects aimed at converting additional resources into reserves. These include subsea pumps, further drilling under a planned Campaign 3, gas monetisation projects and well intervention activities at the Jubilee and TEN fields.
Tullow said interpretation of the 4D seismic data has provided new reservoir insights that improved target selection and contributed to stronger production performance.
Chief Executive Ian Perks said the company’s operational progress positions it to continue executing its strategy and creating value for stakeholders.
Tullow expects group working-interest production to finish 2026 at the upper end of its guidance range of 34,000 to 42,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd), supported by continued high asset reliability across its offshore Ghana operations.
