Tullow Oil, the London-listed oil and gas explorer, has reported in-line performance for the first quarter of the year, producing around 59,000 barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) per day. This aligns with its expectations for the period and keeps the company on track to meet its full-year target range of 62,000-68,000 BOE daily production. Tullow also reiterated its free cash flow target of $200-$300 million for the year, with a focus on the second half, and expects to deliver around $600 million between 2024 and 2025. The company’s operational success is bolstered by rising oil prices, with Brent crude currently trading at $83 per barrel, up 7.8% year-to-date due to Middle East tensions and positive demand signals.°
