Tullow Oil Plc had no alternative to legal action after Democratic Republic of Congo canceled its claim to two oil blocks on Lake Albert, the company’s vice president said.
Tullow won a temporary injunction in a British Virgin Islands court on Sept. 21 against the development or resale of the blocks along the Ugandan border, which now belong to companies owned by Khulubuse Zuma, the nephew of South African President Jacob Zuma. Tullow has also lodged a case against Congo at the International Court of Arbitration in Paris.
