This comes a month after Occidental agreed to divest its interests in the Jubilee and TEN fields to Kosmos Energy and Ghana National Petroleum Corporation.

The Jubilee field and Twenboa-Enyenra-Ntomme field are located in the Deepwater Tano (DWT) block offshore Ghana.

The block is operated under a joint operating agreement (JOA) that provides pre-emption rights to Tullow and PetroSA.

The exercise of pre-emption rights is subject to finalising definitive agreements with Kosmos/Anadarko WCTP Company. It is also contingent on securing approval from state-owned Ghana National Petroleum and Ghana’s Ministry of Energy.
