Tullow Oil plc (Tullow) announces the results of a series of recent exploration and appraisal activities conducted by the four rigs currently operating in Blocks 10BB and 13T onshore Kenya.

The Emong-1 exploration well in Block 13T was drilled to test a structure directly across the main basin bounding fault, which is juxtaposed against the material oil accumulation discovered by the Ngamia-1 well, approximately four kilometres to the southeast. The well encountered poorly developed oil bearing reservoir sands at this location. The result suggests that the main basin bounding fault controls the distribution of reservoirs in this area and has no impact on the potential of the Ngamia oil accumulation.
