Tethys Petroleum: Intergas Central Asia Will Accept Gas Produced by Tethys Aral Gas

Tethys Petroleum Limited (“Tethys” or the “Company”) today announces that Intergas Central Asia (“ICA”), the Kazakh State-owned gas transportation company has notified the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary in Kazakhstan, Tethys Aral Gas LLP (“TAG”), that it intends to continue accepting gas produced by TAG under the existing gas sales contract (“Gas Contract”) and gas supply by TAG to ICA recommenced on December 9, 2016.

ICA had previously announced its intention to cancel the Gas Contract and stopped accepting gas from TAG on October 18, 2016. The Company contested the grounds for cancellation of the Gas Contract and has been in discussions with ICA and Government officials since that time regarding such matters and is pleased that they have now been resolved amicably and to the satisfaction of all parties. The Company wishes to acknowledge the valuable assistance provided by its new investors and strategic in-country partners in Kazakhstan in facilitating these discussions.

TAG has taken advantage of this period of gas production downtime to conduct important routine maintenance and individual well performance analysis which would not otherwise have been possible.
