Re: $650m bonds issue (strike that quest... It will be a longer time before investors get a dividend. 7% return on the new bond issue is probably less risky than buying the shares. There will probably be another rights issue before the new bonds mature.

$800 m worth of bonds contracted - $150 m more than target. That has to be a massive vote of confidence in TLW - SP has to re-rate from here surely??

Re: added long I dropped 25% at around 187 for a small profit. Little bit of downside risk seems to be creeping in. WTI dropping back a little. Might see 185 then 178 for TLW SP. .

$650m bonds issue Seems Tullow are planning to issue 7 yr bonds to pay debt due in 2 years. Probably the least worst option IMHO. GLA.

Re: Short positions Yesterday's list of declared shorts showed another reduction, now down to 4.28% with Polar Capital dropping out. They only popped above the declaration threshold on 08/02/2018, I suspect as a result of trading to close their otherwise non-declarable position. No general appetite for short selling though, just the opposite. 4.28% is over 59m shares, so still a long way to go in terms of days to close. In the meantime there will still be effort from the short interests to putting a negative spin on the company and any news, such as this:[link] is little more than a cursory attempt to talk TLW down without mentioning its strengths or rate of debt reduction.Here's another from Kenya:[link] tries (possibly for political reasons) to put a spin on Tullow "relinquishing" its operational role while playing down the fact that another experienced operator is keen to move in. For me that is an encouragement. During a period when exploration has been uninviting TLW has used cheap debt to develop an income stream from production which will provide future cash flow. It is now starting to move away from the operational distractions of production in order to focus again on exploration as the oil market picks up and the shortfall in exploration has its effect on the oil price. In doing so it will keep interests in non-operational production for that cash flow. Exactly the strategy that it announced before the crude crunch bit.Brilliant management and planning that will, imho, provide a lucrative return.

Jamaica Following from Rigzone todayCGG GeoConsulting and the Petroleum Corporation of Jamaica have announced the discovery of two independent live oil seeps from different parts of the island.The oil seeps were found during fieldwork for a recently completed multi-client study of the petroleum potential of on- and offshore Jamaica. Subsequent detailed geochemical analyses confirmed the oil seeps originate from two separate Cretaceous source rocks, CGG said in a company statement.CGG highlighted that Jamaica and its offshore basins remain relatively underexplored.‘Oil or gas shows have been seen in ten of the eleven exploration wells drilled to date. The discovery of these seeps indicates the presence of working petroleum systems on the island that are generating and expelling liquid hydrocarbons to the surface,” CGG said in a statement on its website.Sophie Zurquiyah, senior executive vice president of geology, geophysics and reservoir at CGG, said the ‘exciting’ discovery of live oil onshore Jamaica builds a strong case for the island as an attractive region for future oil exploration within the Caribbean
