据石油新闻2021年1月29日伦敦报道，专注非洲的英国独立石油公司图洛石油公司（Tullow Oil ）1月27日在伦敦警告说，由于去年缺乏钻井活动，加上加纳朱比利油田计划关闭，图洛石油公司今年的石油产量将下降16%。
图洛石油公司表示，去年该公司权益油平均日产量约为7.49万桶，但今年将降至6.3万桶。
图洛石油公司表示，“这一预测反映了去年的钻探活动的间断，加纳朱比利油田计划在9月关闭，以及加蓬辛巴油田的开发钻井作业延期。”
英国这家资金紧张的石油公司最近采取了一项新的策略，包括几乎只专注于扩大其西非近海资产，并缩减其他前沿盆地的勘探规模。
图洛石油公司首席执行官Rahul Dhir表示，“这个计划的重点是确保图洛石油公司在西非的生产资产充分发挥其潜力。我们将利用新的计划和我们降低的成本基础，在当前大宗商品价格下产生正的自由现金流，降低我们的净债务，并提供稳健的资产负债表。”

Africa-focused Tullow expects oil production to fall 16% in 2021
Africa-focused independent Tullow Oil warned Jan. 27 that its oil production will fall by 16% in 2021, caused by a lack of drilling activity last year along with a planned shutdown at the Jubilee field in Ghana.
Tullow said its working interest production averaged 74,900 b/d in 2020 but this will fall to 63,000 b/d in 2021.
"This forecast reflects the drilling hiatus in 2020, a planned shutdown in September on Jubilee and deferred development drilling on Simba in Gabon," it said.
The cash-strapped company recently adopted a new game plan, which involves focusing almost solely on growing its offshore West African assets and scaling down exploration in other frontier basins.
"The plan is focused on ensuring that Tullow's producing assets in West Africa reach their full potential," said Tullow CEO Rahul Dhir. "We will leverage the new plan and our reduced cost base to generate positive free cash flow at current commodity prices, drive down our net debt and deliver a robust balance sheet."
