News Release 
 
Jubilee Field production update 
 
20 July 2015 - Tullow Oil plc ('Tullow') announces that gas export from the
Jubilee Field to the Ghana Gas plant at Atuabo has been suspended since 3 July
2015 due to technical issues with gas compression systems on the FPSO Kwame
Nkrumah and is expected to resume by mid-August. Oil production is currently
constrained to approximately 65,000 bopd and is under constant review but
there is no effect on the Field's reservoir or resources. 
 
Tullow has mobilised a team of experts to rectify the fault within the gas
compression system and estimates that it will take approximately a further 3
weeks to reinstate gas export and full oil production. 
 
Tullow will review its 2015 production forecast for Jubilee and provide an
update on progress at its half yearly results on 29th July.
