據OE網站1月26日報道，專注于西非的圖洛(Tullow)石油公司周三表示，預計其2021年的自由現金流將高于此前預測的2.5億美元，如果油價為75美元/桶，預計今年的現金流將達到1億美元。

圖洛的市值截至周二已達10億美元左右，目前主要致力于降低其21 億美元的債務堆，并已對沖50 %- 75 %其約6萬桶油當量/天的產量，51美元-78美元每桶到2024年。

其稱，對沖成本在每桶1.6美元-2美元之間。

基準原油期貨價格接近每桶90美元，去年第三季度大部分原油期貨價格都在80美元以上。圖洛去年11月表示，其2021年的自由現金流為1億美元。

圖洛在一份交易聲明中表示，自由現金流預計為2.5億美元，高于預期，主要受成本持續關注、2021年下半年油價的支撐以及良好的營運資本流動的推動。

2022年較低的自由現金流將包括剝離烏干達資產的7500萬美元支付，但也包括更高的退役支出和3.5億美元的投資，其中大部分將用于加納近海的旗艦油田。

該公司定于3月9日公布全年業績。

上月提交了一份修改后的34億美元的肯尼亞陸上油田開發計劃的圖洛石油公司表示，其正在為在圭亞那和肯尼亞尚未開發的項目尋找新的投資者。

該公司首席執行長Rahul Dhir表示，目前還沒有關于從這些項目中剝離部分資產的時間或規模的指導意見。

Tullow Oil Sees 2021 Free Cashflow at $250M

West Africa-focused Tullow Oil expects its 2021 free cash flow to come in higher than previously forecast at $250 million and expects this year's cash flow to come in at $100 million at an oil price of $75 a barrel, it said on Wednesday.

Tullow, with a market capitalization of around $1 billion as of Tuesday, is focusing on reducing its $2.1 billion debt pile and has hedged 50%-75% of its output of around 60,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day between $51 and $78 a barrel to 2024.

The hedging cost is between $1.6 and $2 per barrel, it said.

Benchmark crude oil futures are trading near $90 a barrel, with much of last year's third quarter above $80. Tullow had said in November it saw its 2021 free cashflow at $100 million.

"(2021) free cash flow is expected to be $250 million, ahead of guidance, driven by continued focus on costs, supportive oil prices in the latter parts of 2021 and favorable working capital movements," Tullow said in a trading statement.

Lower free cashflow in 2022 would include a $75 million payment from divesting its Uganda assets, but also higher decommissioning spending and investments of $350 million, most of which is going to its flagship fields offshore Ghana.

It is due to report full-year results on March 9.

Tullow is seeking new investors for its yet-to-be-developed projects in Guyana and Kenya, having submitted a revamped $3.4 billion development plan for some of its onshore Kenyan oilfields last month, it said.

There is no guidance yet on the timing or size of partial divestments from those projects, Chief Executive Rahul Dhir said.
