Portfolio management and funding
Portfolio management
In July 2010, Tullow acquired a 50% interest in Exploration Areas 1 and 3A in the Lake Albert Rift Basin from Heritage Oil and Gas Limited. $1.05 billion was paid to Heritage with $121 million deposited with the Ugandan Revenue Authority and $283 million held in Escrow pending a resolution of a dispute between Heritage and the Government of Uganda over payment of capital gains tax.
Tullow and the Government of Uganda are engaged in negotiations aimed at resolving the Heritage capital gains tax issue. A legally binding Memorandum of Understanding is being finalised to pave the way for the farm-down and development of all assets within the Lake Albert Rift Basin by Tullow, Total and CNOOC.
Long-term funding
In January 2010, Tullow completed a share placing raising net proceeds of $1.45 billion, increasing its share capital by 9.9%. In addition, Tullow increased the commitments of its Reserve Based Lending facility by $500 million to $2.5 billion in May 2010. It also increased its Revolving Corporate facility by $350 million in October 2010 and by a further $50 million in December 2010 to $650 million. The Group now has total debt facilities of $3.15 billion which, when combined with the anticipated Uganda farm-down proceeds, further strengthens the balance sheet in support of Tullow’s strategy to:
- Maintain a $500 to $700 million per annum exploration programme and develop longer-term exploration options;
- Accelerate development in Uganda with potential new partners Total and CNOOC; and
- Continue with Jubilee Phase 1a development following successful first production from the Jubilee field together with fully appraising and developing the Tweneboa and Enyenra discoveries.
2011 capital expenditure
Approximately 40% of the investment in 2011 will be exploration and appraisal.
Financial statements
With effect from 1 January 2010 Tullow presents its financial statements in US dollars.
