The company reported interim pre-tax profits of $268m, up from $150m a year earlier. In June it had forecast full year production of 90,000 to 98,000 bopd.
Sales revenue fell to $872m from $905m as market oil prices led to a loss on the realisation of hedges, although Tullow said hedging remained a "key element" of the its risk management strategy.
