受嚴峻市況影響,獨立石油生產商Tullow Oil已決定售出挪威境內所有勘探與開發許可證,退出挪威市場。這意味著該公司將關閉挪威事務處,并解雇50名員工。
Tullow發言人稱:公司已知會相關機構,目前已開始與員工進行協商。由于油價持續低迷,挪威市場并不景氣,且公司需要集中精力優先發展非洲和南美洲的核心資產組合,因而出此下策退出挪威市場。Tullow在挪威共有34個勘探許可證區域,計劃2016年在該國鉆取四口勘探井。發言人還表示:公司將履行現有勘探許可區的全部義務,并對員工負責。
本周早些時候,Tullow位于加納海上的TEN (Tweneboa、Enyenra and Ntomme) 油田投產,第一批石油的產出使用浮式生產儲油輪(FPSO)Prof. John Evans Atta Mills。公司希望能不斷增產,在2017年之前實現日產8萬桶,達到該浮式生產儲油輪的日加工量。

Independent oil exploration and production company Tullow Oil has decided to sell its exploration and development licenses in Norway and exit the country due to a challenging market. This means that the company will shut down its Norwegian office and lay off around 50 employees.
The company’s spokesperson said that Tullow has already submitted notifications to the relevant authorities and has started a consultation process with its staff. “This difficult decision has been made in response to the ongoing challenges presented by a low oil price and the need to prioritize our investment in our core portfolio in Africa and South America.” The oil company has 34 licenses in Norway and planned to drill four exploration wells in the country in 2016. The spokesperson further added: “We will, of course, fulfill all our commitments on our existing licenses and honor all our obligations to staff.”
Earlier this week, Tullow produced first oil from the Tweneboa, Enyenra, Ntomme (TEN) fields, located offshore Ghana, to the FPSO Prof. John Evans Atta Mills. The company expects oil production to ramp-up gradually towards the FPSO capacity of 80,000 bopd through the remainder of 2016.
