As a precautionary measure, additional operating procedures to monitor the turret bearing and reduce the degree of rotation of the vessel are being put in place. \nSOFEC will now undertake further offshore examinations and Tullow will work with SOFEC to determine what further measures will be required. Oil production and gas export is continuing as normal.\n \nFOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:\n\n\n\n\nTullow Oil plc \n(London)\n(+44 20 3249 9000)\nChris Perry (Investor Relations)\nJames Arnold (Investor Relations)\nGeorge Cazenove (Media Relations)\n\n\nCitigate Dewe Rogerson\n(London) \n(+44 207 638 9571) \nMartin Jackson\nGrant Ringshaw\n\n\nMurray Consultants \n(Dublin)\n(+353 1 498 0300) \nPat Walsh\nJoe Heron\n\n\n\n\n \nNotes to Editors \nTullow Oil plc\nTullow is a leading independent oil & gas, exploration and production group, quoted on the London, Irish and Ghanaian stock exchanges (symbol: TLW).
