TULLOW OIL PLC
Tullow signs Production Sharing Contract for new offshore exploration licence in Côte d'Ivoire

14 December 2022 - Tullow Oil plc (Tullow) is pleased to announce the signing
of a Production Sharing Contract (PSC) for offshore exploration licence CI-803
in Côte d'Ivoire. Tullow will operate the licence with 90% equity, the
remaining 10% is held by PetroCi. CI-803 covers an area of 1,345 square
kilometres and is adjacent to licence CI-524 which is also held by Tullow
(90%, operator) and PetroCi (10%).

With this new exploration licence, Tullow strengthens its position in the Tano
Basin where significant prospectivity has been identified within the proven
Cretaceous turbidite plays, similar to the plays which are producing in the
adjacent TEN and Jubilee Fields. The work programme for the initial two and a
half years includes reprocessing of existing 3D seismic data, along with
prospect evaluation. In CI-524, a number of drill candidates are being matured
while preparations continue for an exploration well to be drilled during 2024.

Rahul Dhir, Chief Executive Officer, Tullow Oil plc, commented: "This new
licence underscores our strong commitment to investing in and unlocking the
resource potential in Côte d'Ivoire. Our exploration strategy is focussed
around existing producing fields in basins where we have a differentiated
understanding, in this case through our deep understanding of the Tano Basin."
