Tethys Petroleum Limited: Operations Update

GRAND CAYMAN, CAYMAN ISLANDS--(Marketwire - Sept. 10, 2012) - Tethys Petroleum Limited
("Tethys" or "the Company") (TSX:TPL) (LSE:TPL) today is pleased to announce the commencement of drilling operations at the AKD07 appraisal/exploration well in Kazakhstan, and the commencement of
further seismic acquisition in Tajikistan. The well is located to the south-east of the producing Doris field and is designed to target a potential downdip field extension at the Cretaceous Aptian sand level in what is believed to be a channel sand system (the "Doris" sand), whilst simultaneously targeting an exciting exploration prospect named "Dyna"), which has been identified on the 3D seismic data from a bright amplitude anomaly at a slightly shallower level, and is interpreted to be part of a separate, larger sand fan or sheet sand system. This Dyna prospect has 128 million barrels gross mean unrisked recoverable prospective resources attributed to it (Gustavson Associates). The well also has a deeper Jurassic level target as interpreted from the 3D seismic. The well is forecast to take approximately 55 days to drill to a planned total depth of 2,540 meters using Tethys' own ZJ70 "Telesto" rig. Following the drilling it is planned to run wireline logs, and, subject to the log results, conduct flow testing operations. The recently updated prospective resource report for Tethys' Kazakhstan assets (Gustavson Associates) estimates gross unrisked recoverable mean prospective oil resources of 1.23 billion barrels of oil and this is the first well since that report to target this exploration upside.

In Tajikistan, seismic data acquisition has now commenced as part of the new seismic programme. The initial analysis of the data from the aerial graviometry survey completed at the end of 2011 along with regional seismic and well data revealed several attractive prospective areas with the potential presence of very large deep sub-salt and sub-thrust prospects within the Bokhtar Production Sharing Contract ("PSC") Area. The additional seismic now being acquired will target the best of these areas and provide the final data in a comprehensive programme. The programme, up to 870 km of 2D seismic acquisition, is designed to identify a possible drilling location for the first deep well which the Company expects to commence drilling in 2013.

This stage of the seismic programme involves the acquisition of new seismic in two areas; the Vaksh Valley and the Dushanbe Step. The programme has been designed to target these areas as the data have identified them to be the most likely to contain large deep prospects including potential Jurassic reefs located on the edge of likely Permian basement high features. Jurassic reefs form some of the most prolific fields in the Amu Darya basin (of which the Bokhtar PSC, being in the Afghan Tajik basin, forms part) and no wells have ever been drilled through the overlying salt layer into that horizon in this region of Tajikistan to date. The area also has potential in Lower Cretaceous sandstones which form the reservoir in some super-giant fields in Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. The Amu Darya basin is extremely prolific containing oil, gas and condensate fields and indeed some of the world's largest gas fields are located in this basin. These data also reveal significant potential in other parts of the PSC Area, including the Kulob area, however it has been decided to initially focus on the Vaksh Valley and the Dushanbe Step.

The recently updated prospective resource report for our Tajikistan assets (Gustavson Associates) estimates gross unrisked recoverable mean prospective resources of 27.5 billion barrels of oil equivalent (114TCF gas and 8.5 billion barrels of oil) within the Tethys PSC acreage which covers an area of 34,785 sq km. It is expected that this new seismic programme will further confirm the high potential in the Tethys Bokhtar PSC acreage in which Tethys owns an 85% interest. Tethys continues to hold discussions with a number of potential farminees with the aim of concluding an agreement by year-end. In addition, the planned workover programme on the Beshtentak Field has commenced with wellsite preparation of the first two candidate wells. Results are expected in Q4 2012.

Tethys is focused on oil and gas exploration and production activities in Central Asia with activities currently in Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. This highly prolific oil and gas area is rapidly developing and Tethys believes that significant potential exists in both exploration and in discovered deposits.

Maybe we are about to move!

I certainly hope so Riviera

Yvie,

Yep 7% yesterday afternoon and its starting to move again today. Nice amongst all the red!

I hold

something going on here. Another 10%+ today and nice volume. Nobody else on board?

me

Breaking out from previous intraday highs lately

Probably going up on commencement of new drilling started about 10 Sep.
in Khazakstan - AKD07
They say drilling may take about 55 days which takes us to about 5 Nov
so interest now generated in anticipation ??

Probably worth buying on any market set back up to that date ??

Riviera are you still in here? not a good day I stopped out this morning. Skipped 35 sell and sold at 32. gutted.

water ain't good.,.

Yvie, Stopped out also and I now live in a tent!!

INDEED BALERBOY WATER is definitely not good. haha Riviera. I am be joining you in that tent if my other investments go the same way as this one.
as always good luck

Have we had the bottom?

My options in Tethys Petroleum are not 'worth at least $400,000'

The Guardian, Monday 10 December 2012 21.00 GMT.
If only my options in Tethys Petroleum were "worth at least $400,000" as you report (MP Peter Lilley has received more than $400,000 in oil company share options, 20 November)! Unfortunately your reporter seems unaware that the higher the price of an option, the less it is worth. The option to buy 100,000 shares at $1 is worth nothing if the shares are worth only 57p.

In any case I do not understand your insinuation that my interest in Tethys Petroleum might influence how I perform my duties on the select committee monitoring the Department of Energy and Climate Change. Can you suggest any subject that the committee monitoring UK energy and climate policy has investigated, plans to investigate or might conceivably investigate that would in any way influence the profitability of a company whose operations are entirely in Central Asia?

By contrast you apparently do not consider that those who have interests in UK windfarms or environmental consultancies are in any way conflicted in helping formulate or scrutinise UK energy and climate policy. Nor do I, because I believe in their integrity: they will put the national interest before any personal financial interest – as would I if I had such a conflict, which I do not.
Peter Lilley MP
Conservative, Hitchin and Harpenden

I wonder how he aquired those options in the first place ?????
Were they a "free gift" some services that only Peter Lilley could provide ??
Is he a director in the Company - if so what is his expertise ??
Is he an Executive Director, providing Government information ??? Naughty !

Options are issued at the expense of ligitimate shareholders.
They should be banned by FSA etc and Peter Lilley deeply questioned.

Makes one wonder about Thethys.
Why were these options issued by them ???????
Can directors give away shares ( options ) to anyone ?
What is the point of shareholders funding a Company if this goes on ?

Directors should only get a salary, and that should be assessed by perhaps
an independent outside committee, not Executive Directors etc
