據5月23日道瓊斯報道，圖洛石油公司表示，其在肯尼亞兩個區塊的開采權益將從50%增加到100%，此前兩家少數股權合伙人證實，打算出于“不同的內部戰略原因”退出項目。

這家在倫敦上市的油氣公司擁有South Lokichar盆地項目100%的股權，這為確定戰略合作伙伴創造了更多的選擇性和靈活性。此外，它還建立了一個更簡單的合資伙伴關系，并簡化了項目交付。

該公司已經通知了潛在的戰略合作伙伴，他們持續保持接觸，并繼續與一些公司進行詳細的外包討論。雖然這個過程比預期要長，但圖洛今年仍然專注于確保戰略合作伙伴關系。

在少數股權合作伙伴退出后，圖洛的項目凈資源預計將從2.31億桶增加到4.61億桶，使其總資源從6.05億桶增加到8.36億桶。

該公司表示，2023年公司在肯尼亞的凈資本支出預計將從1000萬美元左右增加到1500萬美元左右，并強調，這還不到集團資本支出的5%。

Tullow Oil's Participation in Kenya Project to Rise to 100% on Partners' Withdrawal

Tullow Oil said Tuesday that its working interest in two blocks in Kenya will increase to 100% from 50% after two minority partners confirmed their intention to withdraw for "differing internal strategic reasons."

The London-listed oil-and-gas company said that owning 100% of the South Lokichar basin project has created more optionality and flexibility in the process to secure strategic partners. Furthermore, it has created a simpler joint-venture partnership and streamlined project delivery, it said.

"The prospective strategic partners have been informed. They remain engaged and detailed farm-out discussions continue with a number of companies. Whilst the process has taken longer than expected, Tullow remains focused on securing a strategic partnership this year," the company said.

Following the minority partners' withdrawal, Tullow's net project 2C contingent resources are expected to rise to 461 million barrels of oil equivalent from 231 million barrels of oil equivalent, taking its total contingent resources to 836 million barrels of oil equivalent from 605 million barrels of oil equivalent.

Net capital expenditure guidance for 2023 in Kenya will increase to around $15 million from around $10 million, it said, adding that this was less than 5% of group capex.
