	probably is. but they seem to be wanting to play hard ball with the yanks and exxon...in which case my guess is they could be in for a cropper....tlw can just sit back and wait to see who gets what. tlw wasnt selling anyways so as far as tlw is concerned its kindof moot unless it affects investment or development.

	GKP, Afren and HOIL had a big day today. I am sure Tullow will have a big day soon. Still a good buying opportunity at the moment. RP More \| View thread (10) \| Respond \| Login to Vote up \| Login to Vote down

	The £1bn was to be able to act on their pre-emptive rights held over the sale of Heritage's share in blocks 1 and 3A. The 'total' sale, if it happens at $4.5-5bn would not be bad news at all. $3bn for ! and 3A and another (up to) $2bn for largely unproven reserves in Block 2 would be great business. The many fingers of Tullow are already stuck in some very big pies and a bit of capital to aid exploration, buy back shares and improve its warchest would not go amiss. Whichever way this goes, Tullow will be in big profit -and so will I! More \| View thread (4) \| Respond \| Login to Vote up \| Login to Vote down

13:04	Tullow Sells Oil Wells to Chinese Compan...	Paitech

	Tullow Sells Oil Wells to Chinese Company Kampala, Feb 09, 2010 (The Monitor/All Africa Global Media via COMTEX) -- The second major prospecting firm in Uganda's oil fields, the British company Tullow Oil plc, is expected to announce this week that it will sell half of its stakes in Uganda to a Chinese company at $2.5 billion (Shs4.7 trillion). The development comes shortly after ENI s.P.a, the Italian oil giant, announced withdrawal of its bid to buy Heritage Oil & Gas company's stakes in Ugandan oil field after Tullow; a co-investor in the Albertine region, invoked its pre-emption rights to buy from the UK firm. Minister unaware The Sunday Times, a weekend sister publication of UK's respected The Times, did not divulge the source of the story but reported that the largely Chinese government owned, China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) has agreed to the deal. In Kampala, State Minister for Energy Simon D'Ujanga, said last night that the government is yet to receive Tullow's proposal and preferred co-investor in the country's fledgling oil industry. "There are 18 companies that have interest in buying Tullow shares. The company is supposed to assess all of them and select a few and bring a proposal to the government for consideration," he said, adding: "As far as we are concerned, Tullow is still assessing and I shall not speculate until they bring their proposal but the government has the final approval." News of the negotiation breakthrough, part of Tullow's farm-out arrangement, comes 10 days after President Museveni met a CNOOC delegation led by company Chief Executive Officer Fu Chengyu at State House Entebbe on January 26. Museveni blessing "President Museveni expressed happiness with the investment proposal (of the Chinese) in the oil exploration sector in Uganda," a statement issued by State House then quoted Mr Museveni as having said. The Sunday Times reported that final details of the sale were being worked out at the weekend with Total SA, the French oil group, which could become an equal partner in the fields with the Chinese and participate in their development. "Tullow is expected to announce the deal after Yoweri Museveni, the President of Uganda, gives it his blessing, which is expected this week," the newspaper said in its article. "The sale of the three blocks, worth between $4.5 billion and $5 billion, in the Lake Albert basin will be part of a larger development plan." Daily Monitor was unable to reach Brian Glover, the Uganda country manager of Tullow, to offer more details of the expected deal as he could not answer repeated telephone calls. Mr Elly Karuhanga, the company president here, who reportedly brokered last month's meeting between CNOOC and Mr Museveni, said he was aware of a deal in the offing. "That is great news," he said by phone last night. "Tullow is fully aware that after they finish negotiations, the government will have to be informed and give its consent."

	"Down 18% on the year". What a blatantly misleading post - "the year" is only 6 weeks old for goodness sake and that wavelength of volatility isn't out of the ordinary for TLW. TLW is actually up 62% on the calendar year ended with yesterday's close. I expect at least similar performance over the coming year from tonight's close. If you missed it last year then get in now and take the second chance. More \| View thread (10) \| Respond \| Login to Vote up \| Login to Vote down

	Haven't all shares gone down in the last month not just Tullow. Next month more drill news reguards Uganda plus hope there will be news on farm out. Also think more re Ghana, plus didn't they also sell 1 or 2 new shares to fund exploration and capital investment. I think once euro situation is setled onward and upward.

	"Do not listen to the baseless Rampers on here." Should we instead listen to baseless de-rampers, then? No-one has a definitive angle on what will/will not happen, but the clues are there and it is imperative we do our own research, come up with the arguments on why/when to buy and sell, and then act accordingly. I still rate Tullow as a buy, fyi, but this is very much IMHO! More \| View thread (10) \| Respond \| Login to Vote up \| Login to Vote down

	"It's about time the President of Uganda showed some leadership" and "Uganda Government are dithering". What a load of rubbish ! Heritage sparked this off with their offer to sell out to ENI. Since then the Government have moved quickly to counter statements from their oil minister, confirm that Tullow's pre-emption rights would be respected, engage in discussions with potential farm-in partners to Tullow, Chinese, French, U.S. and now Russian. They have to make decisions now that will affect their oil industry and national economy for decades. For crying out loud, let's give them a few weeks !

	Tullow is not the great investment it used to be. 2010 will not be a good year for Tulllow. I've been in and out of Tullow for years, but at some point you have to realise, something has changed. African politics are not a good investment at this stage in the global economy. Do not listen to the baseless Rampers on here.
