Tullow Oil Kenya B.V., the operating partner on Blocks 10BB and 13T in Kenya, has submitted notices of force majeure to the Kenyan Ministry of Petroleum and Mining on behalf of the joint venture partners in these blocks.<\/p>\n

These declarations are the result of impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the operations, including Kenyan government’s restrictions on domestic and international travel, and recent tax changes that adversely impact the project economics. These are exacerbated by the recent unprecedented crash in global crude oil prices.<\/p>\n

According to Tullow Oil declaration of force majeure allows time for an improvement in the operating environment and for the joint venture partners, to discuss with the government of Kenya the best way forward for this strategic project.<\/p>\n
