Vision and Strategy

Realising our vision

Tullow has a clear vision, a consistent strategy and a flexible but highly-integrated business model that continuously adapts to the prevailing external environment.

Our vision

Our vision is to be the leading global independent exploration and production company by:

  • Building on our excellent track record through being the best in all that we do;
  • Continuing to grow value over the long-term as partner, operator and employer of choice; and
  • Conducting our operations with respect for the people and environments in which we work.

Our strategy

Tullow pursues a consistent and repeatable strategy which seeks to deliver sustainable long-term growth with a balance between funding, exploration and production spend and major activities in core areas.

We will achieve this by:

  • Delivering major projects, with a significant focus on increasing bankable reserves;
  • Executing selective, high-impact exploration programmes funded by surplus cash flow or equity;
  • Managing our assets to high-grade the portfolio, replenish upside and assist funding needs;
  • Ensuring safe people, procedures and operations, and minimising environmental impacts;
  • Building long-term relationships with local governments, communities and key stakeholders; and
  • Continuing to develop a strong team with excellent commercial, technical and financial skills.

Our strategic objective

To deliver top quintile total shareholder returns versus our industry peer group.
