GRAND CAYMAN, CAYMAN ISLANDS--(Marketwired - Aug. 15, 2016) - Tethys Petroleum Limited (TSX:TPL)(LSE:TPL) today 
announced its Results for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. 
 
Q2 Financial Highlights (all figures reported in USD unless stated otherwise. 2015 amounts are for the quarter 
ended June 30, 2015). 
 
 
=-  Oil and gas revenue down 48% to USD3.5m (2015: USD6.8m); 
=-  Production expenses down 68% to USD1.3m (2015: USD4.2m); 
=-  G&A expenses down 60% to USD1.2m (2015: USD3.1m); 
=-  Loss of USD4.9m (2015: USD25.3m) due to lower depreciation, depletion 
    and amortisation; 
=-  Capital expenditure down 92% due to lower spend on the Company's assets 
    relating to Kazakhstan exploration and development and Tajikistan 
    exploration; 
=-  Net debt increased as a result of interim finance obtained as part of 
    larger strategic transactions which are ongoing. 
 
 
Q2 Operational Highlights 
 
Oil 
 
 
=-  Current quarter oil production averaged 965 bopd compared with 1,954 
    bopd in Q2 2015, reflecting a natural decline in overall production as 
    well as prolonged spring oil trucking disruption; 
=-  Oil production cost per barrel in the current quarter reduced to USD7.73 
    compared with USD7.81 in Q2 2015 despite lower production volume as a 
    result of cost reductions initiatives as well as the devaluation of the 
    Kazakhstan currency, the Tenge; 
=-  Oil prices averaged USD7.94 per bbl in the quarter compared with 
    USD13.00 per bbl in Q2 2015, a reduction of 39%, reflecting the fall in 
    World oil price and the devaluation of the Tenge. 
 
 
Gas 
 
 
=-  Current quarter gross gas production averaged 2,312 boe/d compared with 
    3,250 boe/d in Q2 2015, reflecting a natural decline in overall 
    production; 
=-  Gas production cost per Mcm in the current quarter reduced to USD16.84 
    compared with USD22.90 in Q2 2015 despite lower production volume as a 
    result of cost reduction initiatives as well as the Tenge devaluation; 
=-  An increase in gas price in local currency of over 50 percent was 
    obtained from January 1, 2016, however, this was negatively affected in 
    USD terms due to the Tenge devaluation. 
 
 
Note: 6,000 cubic feet (169.9 cubic metres) of natural gas = 1 barrel of oil has been used and is based on the 
standard energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a 
value equivalency at the wellhead. 
 
Q2 Corporate Highlights 
 
 
=-  All resolutions put to shareholders at the Annual General and Special 
    Meeting held on May 31, 2016 were passed on a poll at the meeting 
    including the transaction with Olisol; 
=-  The Company received the first USD1 million drawdown of a newly agreed 
    USD10 million loan facility from a leading Kazakhstan bank; 
=-  Total and CNPC, the Company's partners in Tajikistan filed for 
    arbitration proceedings at the International Court of Arbitration in
