Tullow and Kosmos Ghana boost. But how do the oilers' prospects line up?

  • Panmure Liberum has described the potential extension of oil production licences in Ghana as a “positive development” for both Tullow Oil PLC (LSE:TLW) and Kosmos Energy Ltd (LSE:KOS, NYSE:KOS), but warned that it is unlikely to shift investor focus away from more immediate concerns. The two companies announced a memorandum of understanding with the Ghanaian government that could see licences for the Jubilee and TEN oilfields extended to 2040.
