Tullow focuses on West Africa
The Anglo-Irish producer is narrowing its scope for another transitional year
Debt-hobbled Tullow Oil will look to retrench to its core producing assets and exploration and development in West Africa as it tries to boost free cash flow (FCF) to further reduce borrowings.
