图洛石油今年产量将随加纳产量增加而增加

据路透社伦敦1月16日消息，周三发布的最新交易数据显示，随着图洛增加在加纳的产量，今年其石油日产量将从去年的9万桶增至9.4万桶至10.2万桶。

这家以非洲为重点的公司此前曾预计，在2018年底之前将通过出售乌干达油田的部分股权获得约2.08亿美元的收益，但这一时间表出现了推迟，拖累了自由现金流和债务削减。

自由现金流为4.1亿美元。该公司此前曾表示，其2018年的现金流可能高达7亿美元。2018年下半年，原油价格暴跌逾三分之一，至每桶50美元以下。

Tullow去年年底的净债务为31亿美元，高于28亿美元的预测。

乌干达能源部长12月20日表示，他已有条件地批准图洛将其在乌干达油田的部分股权出售给法国道达尔，但前提是这笔交易必须缴纳1.67亿美元的税费。图洛不同意这一观点。

图洛在11月份表示将恢复支付股息，由于油价暴跌，该公司在2015年暂停了派息，并预计将从2019年起支付至少1亿美元，并可选择在今年派发特别股息。

图洛表示Tullow表示，今年已在每桶56.24美元的低位对冲了约5.57万桶/天的原油。

其2020年的对冲头寸锁定在25000桶/天，平均底价保持在每桶59.00美元。

Tullow Oil's 2019 output to rise as Ghana production ramps up。

Tullow Oil’s production is set to grow to between 94,000 and 102,000 barrel of oil equivalent per day (boed) this year, it said in a trading update on Wednesday, from 90,000 boed last year as it increases output in Ghana.

The Africa-focused company had previously expected around $208 million from selling part of its stake in Ugandan oilfields to come in before the end of 2018, but the timeframe slipped which weighed on free cash flow and debt reduction.

Free cash flow stood at $410 million. It had previously said its cash flow for 2018 could reach as much as $700 million. Crude oil slumped by more than a third in the second half of 2018 to below $50 a barrel.

Tullow’s net debt at the end of last year stood at $3.1 billion, higher than the $2.8 billion forecast.

Uganda’s energy minister said on Dec. 20 that she had given Tullow conditional approval to sell part of its stake in Ugandan oilfields to France’s Total but only after $167 million of tax on the deal is paid, a view Tullow disagrees with.

Tullow said in November it would return to paying dividends, which it suspended in 2015 due to the oil price crash, and expects to pay out at least $100 million from 2019 with an option for a special dividend for this year.

Tullow said it had hedged around 55,700 barrels of oil per day (bopd) at a floor of $56.24 a barrel this year.

Its 2020 hedging position locked in 25,000 bopd with an average floor price protected of $59.00 a barrel.
