oversee tremendous growth of BG's business in Trinidad and Tobago, as profit

Ian holds a Bachelor of Science in Economics from Loughborough University.

Phuthuma Nhleko, Chairman of Tullow Oil Plc, said: "I am delighted to welcome
Ian to Tullow as CEO. He brings a wealth of industry and African knowledge and

and congratulate him on the considerable progress made during that time. I
look forward to working with Ian and Richard."

commented today: "I am pleased to join Tullow at this pivotal time for the
Company. My near term priority will be to work with Richard, the Tullow team

footing. We will then have an opportunity to grow the Company across Africa,
leveraging our current assets and reputation on the continent of Africa to add
value for our stakeholders."
