Tullow shares dipped from 45.81pp on Friday to 43pp on Monday, following the announcement it is abandoning its Marina-1 drilling project in offshore Peru having failed to strike oil in the area. Crispin Odey’s Odey Asset Management is one of a number hedge funds with long-standing bets against the driller.
