We believe transparent disclosure of payments helps governments, citizens and international opinion formers to debate how wealth from oil resources should be managed sustainably and equitably.

This page outlines our payments to Ghana, in particular, over the last five years but our 2015 full transparency disclosure can be found here.

Oil payments in kind have been multiplied by the Group's 2015 average realised oil price $67.0/bbl.

The voluntary disclosure has been prepared on a corporate level. Income taxes do not include fines and penalties.

This table represents payments or payments in kind made by Tullow to the Government of Ghana and the Ghana National Oil Company in 2015. It does not include payments made by Tullow's joint venture partners.
