Dear Friends and Investors,
Quite a good quarter for our core asset, Blocks 3&4 onshore Oman!
The appraisal programme is important to progress contingent resources into reserves and increase production. The 3D seismic is important to define new potential oilfields to guide the exploration programme on Blocks 3&4. Production and sale of oil is of course of utmost importance to generate the cash required for the continued expansion of Tethys Oil and to enable us to maintain the distributions of cash to our shareholders.
Work at the Ulfa early production facility ("EPF") is ongoing with a few items having taken longer than expected, and we would now expect the EPF to be up and running during the fourth quarter of 2018, some four to six weeks later than originally planned. Once up and running, the EPF will enable several more appraisal wells on the Ulfa and Samah discoveries to be put on stream. It will also allow capacity in the Farha production facility, currently being used to handle some long-term production testing from Ulfa, to be returned to the Farha producers.
Our oil production in Oman increased slightly in the second quarter 2018 and amounted to 11,733 bopd, compared to 11,574 bopd in the first quarter 2018. It is at the lower end of our guidance of a monthly average production of between 11,000-13,000 bopd. As the year progresses, however, we are anticipating the monthly average production to increase towards the higher end of our production guidance. This anticipated increase will follow once the Ulfa EPF is up and running.
Following the increase in oil price and production, we are happy to report revenue and other income of MUSD 36.4, an increase of 6 percent compared with the first quarter 2018. Our EBITDA was up 13 percent and amounted to MUSD 24.3. Our investments in oil and gas operations amounted to MUSD 13.2, in line with MUSD 13.8 in the first quarter 2018. During the second quarter 2018 a total of SEK 5.00 per share, in total MUSD 19, was distributed to shareholders while still leaving us with a net cash balance of MUSD 35.8 at the end of June.
We have experienced higher operating expenses per barrel this quarter than we originally expected. This is partly associated with remedial work being carried out on our older fields. As we can judge today we would expect operating expenses per barrel to come down once the Ulfa EPF is commissioned and the full effect of the remedial work areas is reflected in the production numbers. However, as previously guided, we would expect operating expenses per barrel in 2018 to be somewhat higher than the previous year.
While Blocks 3&4 remain our core asset, work is gearing up on our operated exploration block, Block 49, in the southern part of Oman next to the border with Saudi Arabia. We have a 100 percent interest in this large (15,439 km2 ) block and it is a pleasure to again be operator in Oman. We are well underway to establishing Tethys Oil's presence with the local communities and organisational bodies.
The first part of the work programme, the reprocessing and reinterpreting of existing seismic data, is ongoing. In the first phase, we are processing some 40 lines of 2D seismic amounting to over 1,000 km of various vintages. This is giving us seismic images of a better resolution which will enable us to search the block for targets not visible to previous operators. It is still early days but so far we have not been disappointed with what we have seen. Once the reprocessing has been completed the next step will be to assess if and where new seismic is needed to further enhance our understanding of where in the block the highest chances of finding commercial oil exist.
So please stay with us – as the older fields in Blocks 3&4 mature, new fields are brought on stream and new seismic opens up for further discoveries in coming months and years. And with exploration work on Block 49 picking up with Tethys Oil as operator, Tethys Oil is firmly on its way to increasing its footprint in the Sultanate of Oman.

Tethys Oil's core area is onshore the Sultanate of Oman ("Oman"), where the company holds a 30 percent nonoperated interest in the exploration and production licence for Blocks 3&4 ("Blocks 3&4") and a 100 percent operated interest in the exploration licence for Block 49 ("Block 49"). Tethys Oil also has non-operated interests in three licenses onshore Lithuania via associated companies and in one license onshore France.
Tethys Oil's share of production, before government take during the second quarter 2018 was 1,067,695 barrels of oil, corresponding to 11,733 bopd. The second quarter 2018 average daily production was marginally higher than the first quarter 2018 average daily production of 11,574 bopd.

The existing production areas Farha South, Shahd and Saiwan East are either at peak production or in decline. New production from the discoveries made in 2017, the Erfan, Ulfa and Samah areas, is expected to contribute an increasing share of overall production.
Revenue and other income from Blocks 3&4 is generated from Tethys Oil's share of oil production. Tethys Oil receives its 30 percent interest of the joint operation's share (currently 52 percent) of oil production, with the remaining share being government take. The joint operation's share of total production can vary depending upon the balance of unrecovered cost pools.

During the second quarter 2018, Tethys Oil sold 529,194 barrels of oil from Blocks 3&4, which is higher than the first quarter of 2018 when 511,998 barrels of oil were sold. The sales volumes in the second quarter 2018 have resulted in a shift to an underlift position.
Tethys Oil sells all of its oil from Blocks 3&4 on a monthly basis to Mitsui Energy Trading Singapore, which is part of Mitsui & Co Ltd. Tethys Oil's average selling price is based on the monthly average price of the two month future contract of Oman blend as traded on the Dubai Mercantile Exchange, including trading and quality adjustments.
The average selling price during the second quarter 2018 amounted to USD 65.6 per barrel, compared to USD 63.7 during the first quarter 2018. The average price for Dated Brent oil for the second quarter 2018 amounted to USD 74.5 per barrel. The higher price will be reflected in the revenues for the third quarter 2018.
Revenue during the second quarter 2018 was MUSD 34.7 compared to MUSD 32.6 during the first quarter 2018. The adjustment for the shift to an underlift position during the second quarter 2018 amounted to MUSD 1.7 and together with revenue of MUSD 34.7 add up to revenue and other income of MUSD 36.4.

1 The consolidated financial statements of the Tethys Oil Group (hereafter referred to as "Tethys Oil", "Tethys" or the "Group"), in which group Tethys Oil AB (publ) (the "Company") with organisational number 556615-8266 is the parent company, are hereby presented for the second quarter and half year 2018. Segments of the Group are geographical markets.
2018 revenue and other income is up 6 percent compared to the MUSD 34.2 during the first quarter 2018 due to the increase in oil prices and production.

Oil sale volumes are nominated two months in advance and are not based upon the actual production in a month; as a result, oil sale volumes can be above or below production volumes. Where the sales volume exceeds the volume of barrels produced an overlift position occurs and where it is less, an underlift position occurs. Tethys Oil moved to an underlift position during the second quarter 2018, which as at 30 June 2018 amounted to 19,603 barrels.

| Well workovers, MUSD | 0.8 | 1.0 | 1.0 | 0.7 | 0.2 |
| Total operating expenses, MUSD | 11.1 | 11.6 | 9.0 | 9.2 | 8.2 |
| Operating expenses per barrel, USD | 10.4 | 11.1 | 8.4 | 8.1 | 7.3 |
Operating expenses are related to oil production on Blocks 3&4, and comprise expenses for throughput fees, energy, consumables, field staff, maintenance, well workovers and interventions as well as administration, including operator overhead.
Operating expenses during the second quarter 2018 amounted to MUSD 11.1 compared to MUSD 11.6 during the first quarter 2018. The increase in operating expenses during the first half of 2018 compared to prior periods includes costs incurred in 2017 impacting the first quarter 2018 with some first quarter 2018 costs impacting the second quarter 2018.
Production costs during the second quarter 2018 remain at a higher level than during 2017 due to amongst other things higher per unit diesel costs relating primarily to field power generation, consumables and testing equipment rentals. In addition, the phasing of the well workover programme has resulted in continued high workover costs during the second quarter 2018. Well workovers and interventions primarily relate to replacing electric submersible pumps enabling shut-in wells to restart production. The majority of production comes from mature fields where part of the wells have higher production costs due to requirements of more maintenance and consumables to maintain production.

| DD&A per barrel, USD | 10.7 | 10.7 | 8.9 | 8.9 | 8.9 |
Depletion, depreciation and amortisation ("DD&A") during the second quarter 2018 amounted to MUSD 11.4, which is higher than MUSD 11.2 in the first quarter 2018 due to higher production. DD&A per barrel has increased compared to 2017 due to an increase in additional future investments for the production of currents reserves. These additional future investments will however benefit all potential future production, including potential production from resources not included in the current oil reserves.

| Netback | 23.7 | 22.0 | 19.6 | 17.2 | 20.6 |
Netback during the second quarter 2018 is higher than the first quarter 2018 due to the increase in oil prices and slightly lower operating expenses per barrel.
Administrative expenses for the second quarter 2018 amounted to MUSD 1.9 compared to MUSD 1.1 during the first quarter 2018, with the increase primarily explained by the cost for the long term incentive programme being accounted for during the second quarter 2018. Administrative expenses mainly relate to staff, rents, listing costs and external services.
The net financial result during the second quarter 2018 amounted to MUSD 2.1 compared to MUSD -1.3 during the first quarter 2018. The net financial result for the second quarter 2018 is primarily related to currency exchange effects. Currency exchange differences recorded on loans between the parent company and subsidiaries are noncash related items. Other financial costs during the second quarter 2018 amounted to MUSD -0.1 compared to -0.1 during the first quarter 2018.
Tethys Oil's oil and gas operations in Oman are governed by an Exploration and Production Sharing Agreement for each license ("EPSA") whereby Tethys Oil receives its share of oil after government take. Under the terms of the EPSA, Tethys Oil is subject to Omani income taxes and royalties which are paid in full, on behalf of Tethys Oil, from the government share of oil. The effect of these taxes are netted against revenue and other income in the income statement.
Tethys Oil reports a net result after tax for the second quarter 2018 of MUSD 15.0, representing earnings per share (after dilution) of USD 0.44. The result for the second quarter 2018 is up compared to the first quarter 2018 where the net result amounted to MUSD 9.0.
During the second quarter 2018, total investments amounted to MUSD 13.2 of which the majority relate to Blocks 3&4.
Investments on Blocks 3&4 during the second quarter 2018 were in line with the first quarter 2018.

The appraisal of the Ulfa discovery was initiated in the first quarter 2018, and the two wells Ulfa-2 and Ulfa-3 were completed in the second quarter 2018. In addition, the Samah-2 well was spudded in the second quarter 2018. The objective of the appraisal programme on the Ulfa and Samah discoveries is to mature contingent resources into reserves and to optimize plans for future production from the discoveries with more data being gathered on volumes, reservoir quality and continuity, fluid levels and productivity. Both the Buah and the Khufai reservoirs are being appraised and cores are taken for analysis and advanced logs are being conducted.
Both wells encountered oil and the information gathered from the wells were as, or slightly better than, expected. Ulfa-2 was drilled in the western part of Ulfa discovery and Ulfa-3 was drilled even farther west to appraise the western flank in order to define the reservoir's extent/boundary and oil/water contact. Both Ulfa-2 and Ulfa-3 were completed as producers from the Khufai layer. Ulfa-2 has been connected to the production system at the Farha South facilities. The appraisal well Ulfa-4 will be spudded in the third quarter 2018.
Construction of an Early Production Facility (EPF) continues for the Ulfa and Samah discoveries. The EPF includes separators, heater treaters and pipelines. The construction is experiencing some four to six weeks delay and is expected to be finished in the fourth quarter 2018. A new pipeline will connect the Ulfa and Samah discoveries with the Saiwan East facilities. At present, the production from these discoveries is being transported through a flow line to the Farha South production facilities. The EPF is needed in order to handle expected larger production volumes from Ulfa and Samah, and also to release capacity at the Farha South facilities.
The Erfan discovery was appraised by two wells in addition to the discovery well already in 2017. A further appraisal well, Erfan-4, was drilled during the second quarter 2018. Erfan-4 was drilled centrally on the structure in order to drain and evaluate an area between Erfan-2 and Erfan-3. The well encountered oil and will in the third quarter be connected to the Saiwan East facilities.
Three appraisal/production wells were drilled in previously undrilled fault blocks R, W and Maha SW on the Farha South field during the second quarter 2018. These fault blocks are all located in the southern part the field. The wells on fault blocks R and Maha SW were drilled vertically down to the target, the Barik sandstone. The wells encountered oil and flowlines will be built to connect them to Farha South facilities in the third quarter 2018. On fault block W oil was encountered, but only residual oil, and the well has been abandoned as a dry hole. Analysis of the hole suggests that the fault block has leaking side seals, which is only possible to discover following drilling and is not visible on seismic. Three production wells were also drilled on Farha South, one on fault block AO and two on fault block C.
In addition, four water injection wells were drilled, one on each of fault blocks AS, AZ, B and K.
One production well was drilled on Shahd structure I. The well encountered oil and has been connected to the production system. In addition, one side track was drilled in an old well on the Shahd field.
The seismic programme that was launched in the fourth quarter 2017 has been further increased and will cover an additional area of 750 km2 south of the Shahd field, in addition to the 2,000 km2 acquired during fourth quarter 2017 and first quarter 2018. The new area is being acquired with the objective of maturing a possible extension of the Buah and Khufai plays. The 3D seismic acquisitions on the 1,200 km2 area east of the Ulfa discovery and on the 800 km2 area north west of the Farha South field have been completed and are now being processed. Interpretation of the processed data is expected to be matured in the third and fourth quarters 2018. The area east of Ulfa covered by 3D seismic includes more than ten leads identified on older 2D seismic and should the interpretation of the 3D seismic give support for these leads, one exploration well is planned to be drilled in the area later in 2018.
The exploration well Luja-1 was spudded late in the fourth quarter 2017 in the southern part of Block 4. Luja-1 is located about 110 km southwest of the Shahd field and drilling finished in the first quarter 2018. A legacy well drilled in the area encountered oil shows, and as expected, oil shows were also recorded in the Luja-1 well during drilling. Since the well is located far from the infrastructure facilities on the producing fields, a supporting field camp is required in order to perform further work and all equipment needs to be transported to site. The process of establishing the field camp and transportation of equipment has been delayed and is expected to be completed during the latter part of the third quarter 2018 when extensive evaluation of the well is expected to commence.
The exploration well Tibyan-1 that was drilled in the first quarter 2018 has been connected to the production system during the second quarter 2018.
The geological studies and studies of legacy seismic data continued in the second quarter 2018. Reprocessing of legacy seismic data started in the quarter and is expected to be finished in the third quarter. Some 40 lines of 2D seismic over a total length of over 1,000 km are being reprocessed. The reprocessed seismic provides a better resolution which will enable Tethys Oil to search the block for targets not visible to previous operators. The interpretation of the reprocessed lines will be used to evaluate if and where to acquire new seismic.
A number of new ventures projects have been reviewed and several continue to be evaluated.
The interest in the three Lithuanian licences are indirectly held through a shareholding in two Danish private companies, which in turn hold shares in Lithuanian companies holding 100 percent of the licences. The two companies are not consolidated in Tethys Oils financial statements and are therefore only presented in the balance sheet under "Investments in associates" and in the income statement as "Share of net profit/loss from associates".
As at 30 June 2018, the value of the shareholding in the two associated Danish companies holding the interest in Lithuanian licenses, amounted to MUSD 0.0 compared to MUSD 0.0 in the first quarter 2018. The result from Tethys Oil's share in these associated companies during the second quarter 2018 amounted to MUSD 0.9, following receipt of dividends, compared to MUSD 0.0 during the first quarter 2018. For further information regarding the ownership structure, please refer to the Annual report 2017.
Production on the Gargzdai licence during the second quarter 2018 was lower than production during the first quarter 2018. During the second quarter 2018, an average of 15 wells were in production on the license. A 100 km 2D seismic acquisition is planned on Gargzdai licence in the third quarter 2018 in order to further delineate the Kintai structure.

Cash and bank and net cash as at 30 June 2018 amounted to MUSD 35.8 compared to MUSD 52.4 as at 31 March 2018.
In May 2018 a dividend of SEK 1.00 per share was paid to shareholders, which in total amounted to MUSD 3.8 and in June 2018 an extraordinary distribution, by way of share redemption, of SEK 4.00 per share was paid to shareholders, which in total amounted to MUSD 15.2.
During the second quarter 2018, cash flow from operations amounted to MUSD 14.4 and investments in oil and gas amounted to MUSD 13.2. Further, Tethys Oil received a dividend from associated companies of MUSD 0.9. Tethys Oil paid the Blocks 3&4 operator cash call for July 2018 during the second quarter 2018, which affected the cash position negatively by MUSD 7.3. As a consequence, it is expected that only two monthly cash calls will be paid during the third quarter 2018 compared to the ordinary three monthly cash calls.
Tethys Oil's operations on Blocks 3&4 and Block 49, including the investment programme, are expected to be funded from cash flow from operations and from available funds. Tethys Oil's operations in Lithuania are expected to be funded from cash flows from operations and available cash in the associated Lithuanian companies.
Of the Export Reporting Error (see Note 7) amount of MUSD 5.9, MUSD 0.3 was repaid during the second quarter 2018 resulting in "Current provisions" amounting to MUSD 0.9 and "Non-current provisions" to MUSD 2.6, hence a total amount remaining to be settled of MUSD 3.5, to be repaid in equal monthly instalments until 2022.
The Parent company reports a net result after tax for the second quarter 2018 amounting to MSEK 18.6 compared to MSEK -10.7 for the first quarter 2018. Administrative expenses during the second quarter 2018 amounted to MSEK 11.6 compared to MSEK 6.6 for the first quarter 2018. The "Net financial result" amounted to MSEK 19.4 during the second quarter 2018 compared to MSEK -5.6 for the first quarter 2018. Currency exchange gains related to loans to subsidiaries during the second quarter 2018 is the main reason for the improved result during the quarter.
As at 30 June 2018, the number of outstanding shares in Tethys Oil amount to 35,543,750, with a quota value of SEK 0.17. All shares represent one vote each. The Company has the same amount of shares outstanding as at 31 March 2018. Tethys Oil has a warrant based incentive programme for employees, for further information please see Note 9. As the average subscription price for two tranches of the incentive programme is below the average share price during the second quarter 2018, the dilution effects of the warrants of these tranches are included in the weighted average number of shares after dilution which amount to 34,029,021 during the second quarter 2018.
As at 30 June 2018, Tethys Oil held 1,644,163 of its own shares which have been purchased since commencement of the programme during the fourth quarter 2014. The purpose of the repurchasing programme is to optimize the capital structure and to enable any repurchased shares to be used as payment in connection with, or financing of, acquisitions of companies or businesses. No shares were purchased during the second quarter 2018. The repurchased shares are still included in the total number of shares but are not included in the weighted average number of shares.

Tethys Oil AB (publ) ("the Company"), corporate identity number 556615-8266, and its subsidiaries (together "the Group" or "Tethys Oil") are focused on exploration for and production of oil and natural gas. The Group has interests in exploration and production licences in Oman, France and Lithuania. The Company is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in Stockholm, Sweden. The Company is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm.
The second quarter and half year report 2018 of the Tethys Oil Group has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. The second quarter and half year report 2018 of the Parent company has been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and the Recommendation RFR 2 "Accounting for legal entities", issued by the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council.
The accounting principles as described in the Annual report 2017 have been used in the preparation of this report.
Tethys Oil has applies the ESMA's (European Securities and Markets Authority) guidelines for alternative performance measures. Definitions of performance measures are provided in the Annual Report 2017 and the relevant reconciliations can be found on page 15 of this report.
For the preparation of the financial statements for the reporting period, the following exchange rates have been used.
| 30 June 2018 | 31 December 2017 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Currency | Average | Period end | Average | Period end | |
| SEK/USD | 8.47 | 8.98 | 8.67 | 8.44 | |
| SEK/EUR | 10.21 | 10.40 | 9.73 | 10.00 |
The Group is exposed to fluctuations in the foreign exchange markets as fluctuations in exchange rates can negatively affect the result, cash flow and equity. The major proportion of the Group´s assets relate to international oil and gas discoveries valued in USD and which generate revenues in USD. During the second quarter 2018, all of Tethys Oil's oil sales and operative expenditures were denominated in USD.
The nominal value of accounts payables, cash and bank and accounts receivables is a fair approximation of those line items as they are short term in nature.

The Group's activities expose it to a number of risks and uncertainties which are continuously monitored and reviewed. The main risks and uncertainties are operational and financial risks described below.
At its current stage of development Tethys Oil is commercially producing oil and is furthermore exploring for and appraising undeveloped known oil and/or natural gas accumulations. The operational risk is different in these parts of Tethys Oil's operations. The main operational risk in exploration and appraisal activities is that the activities and investments made by Tethys Oil will not evolve into commercial reserves of oil and gas. The oil price is of significant importance to Tethys Oil in all parts of operations as income and profitability is and will be dependent on prices prevailing from time to time. Significantly lower oil prices will reduce current and expected cash flows and profitability in projects and can make projects sub economic. Lower oil prices could also decrease the industry interest in Tethys Oil's projects regarding farm-out or sale of assets. There are no oil price hedges in place as at 30 June 2018. Further, Oman has, following an agreement with OPEC (Declaration of Cooperation OPEC and non-OPEC), imposed a production recommendation relating to Blocks 3&4. The Declaration of Cooperation OPEC and non-OPEC has been extended to cover all of 2018. The production recommendation may affect the Company's oil production and sales.
Another operational risk factor is access to equipment in Tethys Oil's projects. In the drilling/development phase of a project the group is dependent on advanced equipment such as rigs, casing, pipes etc. A shortage of these supplies can present difficulties for Tethys Oil to fulfil projects. Through its operations Tethys Oil is furthermore subject to political risk, environmental risk and the risk of not being able to retain key personnel.
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, mainly categorized as exchange rate risk and liquidity risk. The Group's risks are continuously monitored and analysed by the board of directors and management. The aim is to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance.
A more detailed analysis of the Group's risks and uncertainties, and how the Group addresses these risks, are given in the Annual Report for 2017.
The Group´s accounting principle for segments describes that operating segments are based on geographic perspective. The operating result for each segment is presented below.

Tethys Oil estimates that its share of site restoration regarding Blocks 3&4 amounts to MUSD 6.3 (MUSD 6.2). As a consequence of this provision, oil and gas properties have increased with an equal amount.
Tethys Oil accounted during the fourth quarter 2016 for the effects of a fiscal metering calibration error resulting in over-reporting of exported oil from Blocks 3&4, affecting fourth quarter 2016 and full year 2016 revenue and result negatively by MUSD 5.9. The error amount will be repaid in cash according to a repayment schedule over a five year period and Tethys Oil estimates that the negative undiscounted net cash effect for Tethys Oil will be less than MUSD 1.4. The mechanism for the full settlement details are being discussed, but Tethys Oil expects that the final settlement will reflect the relevant agreements.
Tethys Oil has a non-current provision of MUSD 2.6 and a current provision of MUSD 0.9 related to the Export Reporting Error that had an estimated total error amount of MUSD 5.9. The Export Reporting Error amount repayment during the second quarter 2018 amounted to MUSD 0.3 resulting in a total amount remaining to be settled of MUSD 3.5 as at 30 June 2018.
