Tullow warns about scam

The Communications Manager of Tullow Oil, Gayheart Mensah, has said the company’s attention has been drawn to reports about fraudsters using the name of Tullow Ghana to defraud unsuspecting members of the public.

Mensah disclosed that Tullow does not use middlemen in its procurement processes, and that all procurement is done only by the Contracts and Procurement Department of the company.

“We have a planned procurement process which does not leave any room for such emergency purchases. Besides, the company deals only with suppliers who are registered with the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC),” Mensah said.

Tullow Ghana therefore advises that any member of the public who is suspicious of any proposed financial transaction for or on behalf of the company should contact the company directly to ascertain the veracity of the proposal.

Tullow is operator of the Jubilee Field with 34.7 percent holdings, and is partnered by Kosmos Energy with 23.5 percent, Anadarko with 23.5 percent and the EO Group with 1.75 percent, as well as Sabre oil and Gas with 2.8 percent holdings and GNPC with 13.75 percent.
