Tullow Oil PLC (TLW.LN) on Wednesday reaffirmed its full-year guidance for oil and gas production as it reported a slight drop in net debt.

The company said that production at the Tweneboa, Enyenra and Ntomme oil fields in offshore Ghana was strong, with average first-quarter net oil production of 87,700 barrels a day.

Tullow Oil said its full-year guidance remained in a range of 82,000 barrels to 90,000 barrels a day, while its working interest gas production is expected to average between 3,500 barrels and 4,500 barrels of oil equivalent a day.

Net debt at March 31 was $3.4 billion, down from $3.5 billion at the end of 2017, Tullow Oil said.

The company said it continues to progress toward a final investment decision in Kenya in 2019, as its exploration team keeps developing its prospect inventory and drill queue for a three-year drilling program that will start in the third quarter.
