据5月23日道琼斯报道，图洛石油公司表示，其在肯尼亚两个区块的开采权益将从50%增加到100%，此前两家少数股权合伙人证实，打算出于“不同的内部战略原因”退出项目。

这家在伦敦上市的油气公司拥有South Lokichar盆地项目100%的股权，这为确定战略合作伙伴创造了更多的选择性和灵活性。此外，它还建立了一个更简单的合资伙伴关系，并简化了项目交付。

该公司已经通知了潜在的战略合作伙伴，他们持续保持接触，并继续与一些公司进行详细的外包讨论。虽然这个过程比预期要长，但图洛今年仍然专注于确保战略合作伙伴关系。

在少数股权合作伙伴退出后，图洛的项目净资源预计将从2.31亿桶增加到4.61亿桶，使其总资源从6.05亿桶增加到8.36亿桶。

该公司表示，2023年公司在肯尼亚的净资本支出预计将从1000万美元左右增加到1500万美元左右，并强调，这还不到集团资本支出的5%。

Tullow Oil's Participation in Kenya Project to Rise to 100% on Partners' Withdrawal

Tullow Oil said Tuesday that its working interest in two blocks in Kenya will increase to 100% from 50% after two minority partners confirmed their intention to withdraw for "differing internal strategic reasons."

The London-listed oil-and-gas company said that owning 100% of the South Lokichar basin project has created more optionality and flexibility in the process to secure strategic partners. Furthermore, it has created a simpler joint-venture partnership and streamlined project delivery, it said.

"The prospective strategic partners have been informed. They remain engaged and detailed farm-out discussions continue with a number of companies. Whilst the process has taken longer than expected, Tullow remains focused on securing a strategic partnership this year," the company said.

Following the minority partners' withdrawal, Tullow's net project 2C contingent resources are expected to rise to 461 million barrels of oil equivalent from 231 million barrels of oil equivalent, taking its total contingent resources to 836 million barrels of oil equivalent from 605 million barrels of oil equivalent.

Net capital expenditure guidance for 2023 in Kenya will increase to around $15 million from around $10 million, it said, adding that this was less than 5% of group capex.
