Tullow Oil made a loss in excess of over $1billion, according to its half-year results.
Revenue was, however, estimated at $731 million.

Group working interest production for the first half of 2020 averaged 77,700 barrels of oil per day, in line with expectations.
It also registered negative free cash flow in half-year due to weighting of cash taxes, cash capex, differentials, redundancy costs and working capital

Despite all this, it registered a strong operational performance in Ghana, with both FPSOs delivering in excess of 95% uptime.
