A few weeks ago Tullow Oil gave an update of their half year results with operational updates for different countries including Kenya and Uganda.

• Uganda: Tullow sold a stake in its Uganda oil development to Total Oil for $900 million ($200m cash – $100m on completion, $50m at FID, $50m at first oil, $700m in deferred consideration), and will retain 10% of that and also of a $3.5 billion pipeline through Tanzania. The statement mentions inter-governmental agreements signed to secure pipeline routing and commence key commercial agreements and last week, Tanzania and Uganda announced the commencement of the construction of a $3.55 billion, 1,445 kilometre-long oil pipeline that will be completed in three years.
• Ghana has sustained low-cost production due to an absence of drilling in 2017.
• Kenya: The Implementation experience of the early Tullow early oil pilot scheme will assist the Tullow oil joint venture, Kenya Government and Turkana county to prepare for full field development (however a previous plan to transport oil by truck had been shelved before the elections amid a dispute of sharing oil revenue). 
• South Lokichar Basin: 14 exploration prospects drilled, 11 oil accumulations discovered – estimated billion barrel basin potential.
• Other Tullow oil exploration is ongoing in Ghana, Namibia, Zambia, and Mauritania as well as in South America.
