Richard Miller, Chief Financial Officer, Tullow, commented today: 

“2023 has been a transformative year for our balance sheet. Following the start-up of the Jubilee South East project earlier this year, we are now in a period of material free cash flow, with approximately  $800 million expected to be generated between 2023 to 2025. This free cash flow, together with cash  on balance sheet and the $400 million notes facility commitment from Glencore, will allow us to fully  address all outstanding 2025 Notes and puts us in a strong position to successfully refinance the  remaining 2026 Notes. We have reduced gross debt by almost $400 million this year and we remain on  track to becoming a low-debt business with a sustainable capital structure.”
