Tullow agrees sale of Dutch gas assets

Tullow Oil has continued its non-core asset disposal programme by agreeing the sale of four Dutch -based gas assets for almost €63m.

The Irish-founded exploration firm, which is becoming increasingly focused on production at its various African assets, has been gradually off -loading its gas interests and exiting non-core territories over the past 12 months.

Last year, Tullow announced the sales of its interests in Bangladesh and Pakistan and, earlier this year, the company sold majority stakes in two British North Sea gas fields for nearly $76m (€58m).
