Cairn Energy has taken over operatorship of onshore blocks CI-301 and CI-302 following the withdrawal of Tullow Oil. The Cairn-Tullow joint venture has pulled out of blocks CI-518, CI-519, CI-521 and CI-522 with effect from end-December 2020, while Tullow remains as operator of CI-520, in the area east of Abidjan around Grand-Bassam, with Cairn as a partner.
