About us<br />

<strong>Tullow</strong> is headquartered in London and employs over 250 people<br />
worldwide. The Group’s shares are listed on <strong>the</strong> London and Irish<br />
Stock Exchanges and <strong>Tullow</strong> is a constituent of <strong>the</strong> FTSE250 index.<br />
<strong>Tullow</strong> had an excellent year in 2006. Record operational and financial<br />
results were achieved in a favourable oil and gas pricing environment,<br />
and each core area continued to deliver strong performances. Sales<br />
revenue increased by 30% to £578.8 million and profit before tax was<br />
up 47% to £263.3 million.<br />
This growth was driven by strong increases in European gas production<br />
against a background of stable African oil production, and sales prices<br />
which were on average 29% ahead of 2005. The Group achieved average<br />
production of 64,720 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) and 89%<br />
organic reserves replacement. Total reserves and resources increased<br />
by 149 millions of barrels of oil equivalent (mmboe) to 506 mmboe.<br />
Current production is over 76,000 boepd, and during 2007 <strong>the</strong> focus is<br />
on continuing to increase production to a targeted level of 85,000 boepd<br />
by <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> year and drilling over 30 wells, including major<br />
multi-well campaigns in Uganda, Namibia and India.<br />
