About us<br />

<strong>Tullow</strong> <strong>Oil</strong> <strong>plc</strong> is one of <strong>the</strong> largest independent oil and gas exploration<br />

companies in Europe. The Group has 120 licences in 22 countries, with<br />

operations in Europe (primarily in <strong>the</strong> United Kingdom), Africa and<br />

South Asia. In January 2007, <strong>Tullow</strong> completed <strong>the</strong> £595 million<br />

acquisition of Hardman Resources Limited, which materially enhances<br />

<strong>the</strong> Group’s operations in Mauritania and Uganda and adds high-impact<br />

exploration licences in South America.<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 />
