Discover the latest Tullow Oil share price today with our interactive streaming chart

Tullow Oil (TLW) is one of the world’s largest oil and gas exploration and production companies. Primarily focused on finding oil in Africa and South America, the company holds an interest in around 70 production and exploration licences throughout 14 countries and has 28 producing fields. Tullow Oil operates through three Business Delivery Teams: West Africa, East Africa and New Ventures. Headquartered in London, it employs around 1,150 people.

Tullow Oil was founded in Ireland in 1986 to develop some small gas fields in Senegal. In 1989, the firm was awarded its first onshore UK licence and listed its shares on the London and Irish Stock Exchanges. International expansion came in the 1990s, and in 2000 Tullow bought gas fields in the UK North Sea from BP for £201m. 

The company doubled in size through the 2004 acquisition of Energy Africa, and in 2006 it acquired Hardman Resources for $1.1bn. In 2010 Tullow executed an equity placing, the proceeds of which were used to pay for the purchase of Heritage Oil’s Uganda assets. 

In 2012 Tullow completed a $2.9bn farm-down to Total and CNOOC in Uganda and used the proceeds to become debt-free. But Tullow struggled in the low oil price environment of the mid-2010s and there were disappointments in its African ventures.

Currently, Tullow Oil’s west African operations are conducted in Equatorial Guinea, Ivory Coast, Gabon and Ghana. Its east Africa operations are focused on realising value from oil discoveries made in Uganda and Kenya. Tullow Oil’s New Ventures operation is responsible for exploration and appraisal activity in a total of nine countries across Africa and South America (Guyana, Jamaica, Mauritania, Namibia, Pakistan, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay and Zambia).

Tullow Oil stock is listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE), the Irish Stock Exchange (ISE) and the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE). TLW stock is a constituent of the FTSE 250 index. You can track the Tullow Oil live share price on the interactive chart and trade it with CFDs at Capital.com.

The TLW share price then plunged and, by January 2016, it was back at just 130p. In early April 2018 the shares stood at around 200p, giving the company a market capitalisation of about £3bn. 

Looking at the TLW stock chart today, you can see that in a one-year period the TLW share price has been fluctuating within a range of 7.17p-221.03p. Having reached the lowest point of 7.17p in March, the Tullow Oil stock quote rebounded to 38.17p in June 2020. However, the stock did not manage to hold the upward movement for long and gradually fell to 14.30p in October 2020.

Commenting on the company’s half-year results 2020, Rahul Dhir, chief executive officer, said: “Despite the very tough conditions in the first half of this year, we have successfully delivered reliable production and major, sustainable reductions to our cost base.” Tullow Oil reported revenue of $731m and averaged production of 77,700 barrels of oil per day (bopd), which goes in line with the company’s expectations.

Capital.com is one of the best stock trading platforms I’ve used. The UX and UI on both the mobile app and web platform are outstanding, making it incredibly easy to navigate. They’ve built a vibrant community of traders and investors, and their UAE team really stands out for delivering an exceptional trading experience.

Great app! I requested some features to be added, such as analysis tools, and they delivered. Amazing job! The agents are always helpful and reply quickly. It’s not 5 stars because, at times, some less experienced agents may say it’s impossible to fulfill the request or fix the problem while another agent, like Angel, quickly escalated the issue to the necessary team/person/department and resolved it

This is an excellent platform. The stop loss and take profit work very well; however, when the changes are very fast like at the beginning of the session, the stop loss does not work. If this defect is corrected it will be the perfect platform.

Efficiency. When creating the account, it was smooth, efficient from start to finish. Verification of documents also was done the same day, unlike other platforms where you have to wait a day or two.
