Tullow Oil plc (Tullow), the independent oil and gas exploration and production group, announces its half year results for the six months ended 30 June 2018

COMMENTING TODAY, PAUL MCDADE, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, SAID: “Today’s results are further evidence of the progress that Tullow has made in the first half of 2018. With this firm financial foundation, we can concentrate on growth across our three core businesses. Over the next two years, we will increase production from our current assets in West Africa, progress two large onshore developments in East Africa and step up our search for material new oil fields in Africa and South America through a multi-year exploration campaign which will initially focus on Namibia and Guyana. There is much to look forward to for Tullow’s shareholders, host countries and staff.” PAUL MCDADE ALSO PAID A PERSONAL TRIBUTE TO AIDAN HEAVEY: “Aidan has dedicated his career to the African Oil & Gas industry. He founded Tullow 32 years ago as a small gas producer in Senegal and since then Tullow has had operations in 45 countries around the world including 20 countries in Africa. He has been a pioneer and an inspiration across Africa for decades, especially in Ghana, Uganda and Kenya. Aidan has also been a mentor to me for many years and I could not have wished for a better Chairman in my first years as CEO. Everyone at Tullow will miss Aidan and wishes him and his family all the very best for the future.”

Mines to gain control of yellow metal assets – aims to reduce fraud

SAMAR announces plans to cover entire life-cycle of all assets MIDRAND, SOUTH AFRICA – 25 May 2017 – The Southern African Movable Asset Register (SAMAR) today announces its plans that will allow mines, contractors, manufacturers, importers, builders, banks, insurers as well as the general public to control title and ownership of all movable assets, including yellow metal and other movable assets used during operations. In Africa, many yellow metal assets are crudely marked and registered to businesses. However, SAMAR creates the most recent reliable record of an asset and yellow metal by updating records in real-time as changes are made by various system participants.

This greatly reduces fraud, theft, double discounting, or incorrect depiction for value and insurance purposes. Benefits for contractors • The value of movable assets and yello...

Reconditioning of components with Thermal Spray Coatings

The application of Thermal Spray coatings by South Africa’s leading surface coating specialists, Thermaspray, can lead to an enhancement in performance and an extension of service life of expensive engineering parts and industrial components, leading to substantial reductions in downtime and production costs. Engineering components and parts in production processes are subject to degradation through wear, corrosion, oxidation and cavitation. Thermaspray, Managing Director, Dr. Jan Lourens, points out that as all these degradation processes are active on the surface of components, a suitably selected and correctly applied surface coating like Thermal Spray can effectively re-condition production equipment to ‘as new’. “In fact”, adds Dr. Lourens, “very often, through degradation analyses and the selection of a superior coating, a thermal spray coating makes it possible to provide virtually as good as new a component. Most importantly for the end user, this means substantial cost sav...
