I am going tomorrow and will try to get them asked.

In the meanwhile, here is todays IMS: http://www.tullowoil.com/media/press-releases.asp?newsid=661

Some extracts - my bolds:

Uganda partners

Tullow has also been working closely with the Government of Uganda to farm down a proportion of its interests in the Basin. Two partners have been selected, CNOOC and Total, and each partner will acquire a one third interest in each of the three blocks. This will result in a unified partnership with considerable technical, operational and financial capability. In addition, it will enable Uganda to become a significant oil producing nation with the potential to produce at rates significantly in excess of 200,000 bopd. The new partnership arrangements will be finalised and approved shortly after the pre-emption [expected to be in next few weeks].

 Uganda - timescales

In Block 2,  ...  first commercial oil production targeted for the fourth quarter of 2011 ... First commercial gas production is targeted for the fourth quarter of 2011.

 

To facilitate an accelerated Exploration and Appraisal programme, a second rig is due to commence drilling in Block 1 in June 2010. The programme will include appraisal of the Ngiri (Warthog) discovery and a comprehensive exploration campaign, east of the Jobi-Rii field, including the material Mpyo (Crocodile), Bbegeri (Leopard) and Jobi-East prospects, before year end. Additional rig capacity is currently being procured for later in the year.

 

Ghana

[Jubilee] is expected to commence production in late 2010 with ongoing well completion work expected to continue for a further three to six months. During this period, facilities will be commissioned and production will be steadily ramped up to an expected plateau rate of 120,000 barrels of oil per day.

 In January, the Tweneboa-2 appraisal well in the Deep Water Tano licence proved Tweneboa to be a major oil and gas-condensate field. The potential of this expansive 200 sq km turbidite fan system will be evaluated with an exploration and appraisal drilling campaign which is scheduled to commence in June.

Tanzania

The Likonde-1 well, located in the Lindi block, encountered thick sands with hydrocarbon shows which are encouraging for the future potential of the basin.

Other Equatorial Atlantic

plans for four high-impact wells in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Mauritania during the second half of the year are well advanced.
