About Tullow’s decommissioning and abandonment operations in Mauritania
Tullow is an equity partner in the Chinguetti, Banda and Tiof fields. Tullow is the operating partner in the Banda and Tiof fields and a non-operator in the Chinguetti field. Oil production from the Chinguetti field ceased in December 2017. Following cessation of production, the decommissioning of the Chinguetti field commenced. Following the decision to not progress the Banda gas project, Tullow commenced preparation to fully abandon the Banda and Tiof fields, in which five wells and two side-tracks were drilled. Operations are scheduled to commence after the decommissioning of the Chinguetti field.
