Tethys Oil is a Swedish energy company focused on exploration and production of oil and natural gas. Tethys Oil's core area is Oman, where the company is one of the largest onshore oil and gas concession holders. Tethys Oil also have exploration and production assets onshore France, Lithuania and Sweden. The shares are listed on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm (TETY).

Dear Friends and Investors

Let us start by concluding that the third quarter has also yielded good results. Both financials and operations continue to be strong. In the third quarter 2013, Tethys Oil produced 442,352 barrels of oil before government take, representing a new record production and an increase of 23 per cent compared with the third quarter 2012 (358,968 barrels). The international oil prices were almost flat compared to third quarter last year and we realized an average selling price of 102 USD/bbl (101). We report net sales of MSEK 142 (116). The result for the third quarter amounted to MSEK 52 (46). Like in the second quarter this year, timing issues in sales have resulted in higher production than sales volumes and we leave the quarter in an under lifted position.

Like previous quarter the average daily production from Block 3 and 4 increased quarter on quarter by 10 per cent from 4,261 bopd to 4,682 bopd. The production increase is partly the result of the successful implementation of the water injection programme on the Farha South oil field, with five new injection wells being drilled in the third quarter. We are however running a little behind schedule, and are now targeting the injection programme to be fully implemented on all fault blocks in production late in the first quarter 2014. Until then, the delay will from time to time affect the production.

The increase in production is also very much a result of the successful test production from the B4EW4 structure. Two wells are on long term test production from the Lower Buah, and a third will be added shortly following the recent highly encouraging result of more than 2,000 bopd tested from the B4EW4-5 well. And the appraisal of the structure continues. The 3D seismic suggests that the Lower Buah may be compartmentalized. Proper appraisal is therefore needed before a third party reserve audit should be carried out. The Lower Buah shows great promise. All three wells drilled into that reservoir section has encountered oil and the oil water oil contact has not yet been determined. This leads Tethys to conclude that somewhere between 2 to 4 million barrels of recoverable oil reserves could be added from this structure. Continued appraisal is of the essence and the currently drilling B4EW4-6 well, the fourth appraisal into the Lower Buah, will yield yet more important data to measure and understand this structure.

During the quarter, we drilled an exploration well in the B4EW5 structure. The well encountered oil and we made a new discovery, but the initial flows were a bit disappointing. We will therefore try to stimulate the well before it will be put in long term production test. However, the most important fact is that the B4EW5 discovered oil and proved the viability of the Buah play concept.

Next year's work programme is taking shape. The Farha water interjection programme will continue, but we also anticipate increased focus on exploratory drilling. In 2013, a large part of the work programme was devoted to seismic studies. With the processing of these studies nearing completion, and the interpretation so far suggesting a large amount of new prospects, we are confident that 2014's exploration programme will be much more focused on the drillbit.

In Lithuania production continues in Gargzdai and exploration activities are being carried out in both the other licenses. The data collection in the seismic study at the Raiseiniai licence is almost completed, and a new well is being drilled at the Rietavas licence. We are looking forward to the results.

In October 2013, my partner since many years, our chairman and co-founder of Tethys Vincent Hamilton left the company in order to work to support and fund a medical research foundation he recently founded. Vince and I have written some 50 management words over the years, but this time I wish Vince a very nice weekend without worrying about investor letters. We also wish him the very best of luck with his new venture. Needless to say, his great contribution to the company will continue to influence the way we operate as will his input as consulting geologist. But let me now welcome our new chairman Staffan Knafve. Staffan has been a board member since our AGM in 2012. With his background in the financial markets, he will bring valuable expertise of a new kind at this position.

So stay with us, our journey continues.

Block 15 40% 1,389 Odin Energy, Tethys Oil
Block 3 & 4 30% 34,610 CCED, Mitsui, Tethys Oil

Blocks 3 and 4

A total of eight wells were completed on the Blocks during the third quarter 2013. The drilling programme on Farha South on Block 3 continued in the third quarter 2013 to be focused on the water injection programme, with five water injector wells and one water source well completed in the quarter. On Block 4, one appraisal well was drilled on the B4EW4 discovery and one exploration well was drilled on the B4EW5 structure.

The results of the processing of the new 3D seismic survey, which was acquired in early April and includes the B4EW4 area, are almost completed and are now being interpreted. The result from the study will be used to guide the drilling programme in 2014.

Three rigs are employed in the drilling programme on Blocks 3 and 4. The partner group is actively sourcing a fourth rig to further speed drilling activity.

The B4EW4-4 well, the first appraisal well into the Lower Buah section of the B4EW4 structure on Block 4, was drilled and tested in the third quarter. The well confirmed the presence of oil and flowed more than 1,000 bopd from 32/64 inch choke. The B4EW4-4 well was drilled approximately 1 km from the discovery well B4EW4-1. The B4EW4-1 well has in the quarter continued to yield good flows under the long term production test from the Lower Buah. The B4EW4-4 well has also been hooked up to the testing equipment for a long term production test.

The B4EW4-5 well, the second appraisal well into the Lower Buah section of the B4EW4 structure, has just been drilled and tested. The well was drilled some 500 meters southeast from the B4EW4-1 well to a total depth of 2,113 metres. The presence of oil was again confirmed and the well flowed in excess of 2,000 bopd on test from 36/64 inch choke. The new well will also be hooked up to the testing equipment for a long term production test.

Appraisal drilling continues on the B4EW4 discovery. A new appraisal well is in progress to further some 1,100 meters northeast from the discovery well B4EW4-1.The new appraisal well, B4EW4-6 is planned to be drilled to a total depth of some 2,200 metres and is designed to further appraise the extension of the Lower Buah reservoir section.

Evaluation of the drilling results of the well B4EW4-3, that was drilled to evaluate the shallower Lower Al Bashir reservoir on the B4EW4 structure, is ongoing.

An exploration well was drilled on the B4EW5 on Block 4. The B4EW5 structure is a look-a-like structure to the producing B4EW4 structure, and was identified from recently completed 3D seismic. B4EW5 is located some 7 km south of B4EW4. The well drilled to a final total depth of around 3,000 metres and recorded oil shows in five separate formations (Lower Al Bashir, Upper Buah, Middle Buah, Lower Buah and Khufai). The well has been completed in the Lower Buah and produced by natural flow in excess of 200 bopd on 28/64 inch choke. Operations with a view to increase the production rate will be carried out and plans are to place the well on a long term production test.

1 The consolidated financial statements of the Tethys Oil Group (Hereafter referred to as "Tethys Oil" "Tethys" or the "Group"), where Tethys Oil AB (publ) (the "Company") with organisational number 556615-8266 is the parent company, are hereby presented for the nine months 2013 ended 30 September 2013. The amounts relating to the comparative period (equivalent period of last year) are shown in parenthesis after the amount for the current period. Segments of the Group are geographical markets. The numbers in the tables in this report may not add exactly due to rounding.

Block 15

An Early Production System - "EPS" with facilities has been completed and commissioned on the Block. The JAS-1 well has since June been on intermittent production in a long term production test. The production rates are minor and continue to vary depending on test programme design.

In addition to the JAS-1 activities, a vertical sidetrack to the JAS-2 well has been drilled in order to evaluate deeper potential reservoirs. The sidetrack reached its final measured depth of 3,560 metres in the Shuaiba formation. The target formations for the sidetrack were Natih A and C and Shuaiba as oil bearing reservoirs. Natih B formation was evaluated as source rock and potential shale oil play, and more than 23 metres of core was acquired from this formation. Minor oil shows were encountered in Natih C and Shuaiba, but the Shuaiba reservoir was estimated as too tight to produce. Natih C has been perforated and will be hook up to the test facilities at JAS-1.

The assessment of Block 15 will continue for other opportunities, primarily in the Shuaiba and Natih formations.

Gargzdai licence

The production on the Gargzdai licence is declining according to expectations. The work programme aims at evaluate various production enhancing techniques.

Rietavas licence

The exploration and appraisal work on the Rietavas license has continued. On the Silale oil field, the old well Silale-1 was re-opened in January 2012. The well has undergone various tests and been in intermittent production with minor flow rates since then. An appraisal well Silale-5 (re-named, previously named Silale-2) has been drilled to further appraise the Silale field. Silale-5 is drilled 1.5 kilometres west of Silale-1 and reached its total depth in the Cambrian sandstones, which were found to be oil bearing. Production testing will be carried out shortly.

A further well, Rietavas-1, is being drilled in the North Eastern corner of the Rietavas license some 20 kilometres from Silale-5. The well will be drilled through all sedimentary layers and is planned to reach its target depth in the Cambrian sandstone.

Raiseiniai licence

The Lapgiriai-1 well on the Raiseiniai license was spudded in April and was drilled to a total depth of 1,129 metres. The well confirmed the presence of oil in the Silurian lime stone formation and during subsequent production testing small amounts of oil have been produced to surface. In order to define oil traps and to identify potentially oil bearing fracture systems, a partly EU funded 3D seismic study covering 80 square kilometres around the well area is ongoing. Collection of data is almost completed. Processing will start before year end and interpretation is expected to be carried out during first quarter 2014.

Production

Tethys has production from two areas, Blocks 3 and 4 onshore Oman and the Gargzdai licence onshore Lithuania. Tethys Oil has 30 per cent interest in Block 3 and 4 Oman and an indirect interest of 25 per cent of Gargzdai Lithuania.

Production from Block 3 and 4 onshore Oman comes from two fields - the Farha South and Saiwan East oil fields, and from test production from the exploration well B4EW4 on Block 4. In addition to these fields, there has been test production from the discovery B4EW4. Production rates vary, mainly due to the on-going development and continued fine tuning of the infrastructure. Production from Oman accounts for 97 per cent of total production.

The first nine months 2013 production in Oman amounted to 1,174,547 (945,530) barrels, a growth of 24 per cent compared to the same period last year. During the first nine months 2013, the Blocks 3&4 Joint Venture's share of production has continued to be 52 per cent of total production, which is the highest possible share of production according to the terms of the EPSA. Tethys Oil's share of the Joint Venture is 30 per cent. (For further information regarding Tethys Oil's share of production, please refer to the Annual Report 2012, page 16.) The high share of production will remain as long as there are remaining recoverable costs, which are created through further investments in the blocks. The estimated recoverable costs as per 30 September 2013, net to Tethys Oil, amounts to MUSD 87.

Production from the Gargzdai licence in western Lithuania has continued to decrease compared with the third quarter 2012, which is in line with the expected depletion of the fields. Tethys Oil's interest of 25 per cent in Gargzdai is held indirectly through Odin Energi A/S, an associated Danish company.

Reserves and resources

Oman

Tethys Oil's net working interest reserves in the Sultanate of Oman as per 31 December 2012, amounts to 14.3 million barrels of oil ("mmbo") of proven and probable reserves.

Reserves
(Audited by DeGolyer and MacNaughton)
Mmbo 1P 2P 3P
Farha South Field, Oman 4.2 12.5 15.7
Saiwan East Field, Oman 0.9 1.4 2.5
B4EW3 discovery, Oman 0.2 0.4 0.5
Total 5.3 14.3 18.7

The reserves in the Farha South field are from the Barik reservoir section only. The reserves in the Saiwan East field and the B4EW3 area discovery are in the Khufai reservoir. The review of the reserves in Oman has been conducted by independent petroleum consultant DeGolyer and MacNaughton ("D&M").

Tethys Oil's indirect share of reserves in the Gargzdai license in Lithuania, according to the agreement with Odin Energi A/S, amounts as per 31 December 2012 to 0.8 mmbo of 1P reserves, 1.7 mmbo of 2P and 2.8 mmbo of 3P. The review of the reserves in Oman has been conducted by independent petroleum consultant Miller Lents Ltd.

Net sales

During the first nine months 2013, Tethys Oil sold 579,751 (549,720) barrels of oil after government take from Block 3 and 4 in Oman and 213,397 (169,303) barrels of oil during the third quarter.

This resulted in net sales during the first nine months 2013 of MSEK 399 (414) and MSEK 142 (116) during the third quarter.

Despite the growth in production (24 per cent) compared to last year, net sales is lower mainly due to:

  • sales during first quarter 2012 being significantly impacted by an additional lifting of production from 2011, originally scheduled for December 2011 but conducted in early January 2012, giving the first quarter 2012 a one-off additional sales amounting to MSEK 38
  • increase in underlift position during 2013 compared to a decrease in 2012
  • 4 per cent lower oil price
  • 5 per cent stronger SEK in relation to USD

Furthermore, Tethys Oil has moved from an overlift position as per 31 December 2012 amounting to 609 barrels to an underlift position as per 30 September 2013 of 30,404 barrels.

Tethys average selling price per barrel amounted to USD 106 (110) per barrel during the first nine months period 2013 and USD 102 (101) for the third quarter.

The selling price received by Tethys Oil is determined for each calendar month based on the monthly average prices of the two month future price of Omani blend (see chart above). During the first nine months 2013, Omani blend prices have been trading between high levels of USD 113 per barrel and low levels of USD 97 per barrel. First nine months 2013 prices are lower compared to equivalent period last year.

Result

Tethys Oil reports a net result after tax for the first nine months 2013 of MSEK 196 (169) and MSEK 52 (46) for the third quarter, representing earnings per share of SEK 5,50 (4,97) for the nine month period and SEK 1,46 (1,35) for the third quarter.

Earnings before interest, tax, depletion and amortisation (EBITDA) for the first nine months 2013 amounted to MSEK 331 (332) and MSEK 96 (78) for the third quarter.

The first quarter result 2012 was significantly impacted by an additional lifting giving a one-off additional sales amounting to MSEK 38. In line with the farmout agreement and presented as Other income, Tethys Oil received in the first quarter 2013 from Mitsui a bonus amounting to MSEK 65 (MUSD 10) as commercial production exceeded 10,000 bopd for 30 consecutive days and following the approval of the Field Development Plan ("FDP") in December 2012.

Net profit from associated companies

Tethys Oil holds indirect interest in the three Lithuanian licences, through the interests in associated companies Jylland Olie and Odin Energi. Total result from Tethys Oils shares in the associated companies amounted to MSEK 6 (17) for the first nine months period 2013 and MSEK 2 (-) for the third quarter. The comparative period's result for nine months and third quarter comes from received dividend for a whole financial year, which was accounted for in the income statement as the acquisition of the associated companies was still on-going during this period (for more information, please see note 7).

Depletion, depreciation and amortisation

Depletion, depreciation and amortisation ("DD&A") for the first nine months 2013 amounted to MSEK 97 (35) and MSEK 36 (16) for the third quarter. Higher DD&A during the first nine months 2013 compared to equivalent period last year is referable to depletion of oil and gas properties which furthermore only relate to Blocks 3&4. The depletion development between the comparable periods is a result of the high level of

investments in Blocks 3&4 during the full year 2012 which has increased oil and gas properties and higher production rates during 2013 which also increase the depletion rate.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses (OPEX) amounted during the first nine months 2013 to MSEK 115 (80) and MSEK 42 (31) for the third quarter. Operating expenses are related to oil and gas production on Block 3 and 4 in Oman, for example expenses for trucking, tariffs, supervision and administration etc. Over and underlift adjustments are made within the Operating expenses category. Due to an underlift position as per 30 September 2013 amounting to 30,404 barrels, the Operating expenses during the first nine months 2013 have been decreased by MSEK 3. The operating expenses have been significantly impacted by transfer of late incoming expenses from 2012 amounting to MSEK 13 and expenses related to well work overs amounting to MSEK 12.

The increase in operating expenses between the reporting period and the comparative period is mainly explained by late incoming invoices in 2012 and cost of workover wells. Direct production costs are lower in the current period despite higher production rates which is explained by the permanent production facilities which were commissioned during the fourth quarter 2012. A breakdown of Operating expenses is presented in note 5.

Administrative expenses

Administrative expenses amounted to MSEK 23 (19) for the first nine months 2013 and MSEK 6 (7) for the third quarter. Administrative expenses are mainly salaries, rents, listing costs and outside services. The administrative expenditures during the first nine months are higher compared with same period last year mainly due to the main market listing on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm, conducted during the second quarter.

Net financial result

The result for the first nine months 2013 has been impacted by net foreign exchange losses and interest on long term debt. The currency exchange effect of the group amounts to MSEK -6 and most of the effect relates to the weaker US dollar in relation to the Swedish krona. Currency translation differences between the parent company and subsidiaries are non cash related items. Interest on long term debt amounted to MSEK -29 for the first nine months and MSEK -10 for the third quarter. The currency exchange effect and interest on long term debt is part of net financial result amounting to MSEK -38 (-15) for the first nine months 2013 and MSEK -8 (-16) for the third quarter.

Oil and gas properties as per 30 September 2013 amounted to MSEK 1,024 (919). Investments in oil and gas properties of MSEK 217 (595) were incurred for the nine month period ended 30 September 2013

Currency exchange effects

The book value of oil and gas properties includes currency exchange effects of MSEK -16 during the first nine months 2013, which are not cash related items and therefore not included in investments. For more information please see above under Result - Net financial result.

Investments

Blocks 3 & 4

During the first nine months 2013, investments amounting to MSEK 197 were made on Blocks 3 & 4. Of the total investment amount, MSEK 182 consists of new investments in the blocks and the remaining MSEK 15 emanate from that part of investments previously made by Mitsui on Tethys Oil's behalf under the Carry agreement and was recovered by Mitsui during the first quarter from Tethys Oil's share of cost recovery oil entitlement.

Of the investments of MSEK 182 made by Tethys Oil during the first nine months 2013, most has been spent on appraisal drilling, seismic and water injection wells.

Other investments

Other investments amounted during the period to MSEK 20, where Block 15 accounts for most of the investments. On Block 15, a long term production of JAS-1 was launched in June 2013.

Liquidity and financing

Cash and bank as at 30 September 2013 amounted to MSEK 246 (248). A large part of cash and cash equivalents are kept in USD which has depreciated against SEK during the reporting period. The currency exchange effect on cash and cash equivalents amounted during first nine months 2013 to MSEK -3.

The high level of investments on Block 3 and 4 will continue, with a main focus on exploration, appraisal of the B4EW4 area and a water injection programme to enhance production. Tethys Oil's share of the total Joint Venture investment budget for 2013 on Blocks 3&4, including the extended work programme as described in the second quarter report 2013, amounts to MSEK 355. The investment budget is expected to be fully financed by cash flow from operations.

Tethys Oil's operations in Lithuania is expected to continue to be self-financed from oil production on the Gargzdai licence and financed by Chevron on the Rietavas licence.

In accordance with the 2010 farmout agreement, Mitsui commenced during first quarter 2012 recovering the MUSD 60 paid on behalf of Tethys Oil from the proceeds of Tethys Oil's share of cost recovery oil entitlement. Under the carry agreement, Tethys Oil has allocated its entire share of cost recovery entitlement to Mitsui until the full MUSD 60 was recovered by Mitsui. As per January 2013 the final balance cost recovery repayment was allocated to Mitsui.

Financial assets

Tethys Oil's interests in three Lithuanian licences are held through two private Danish companies. (For more information regarding the ownership structure, please refer to note 7.) As per 30 September 2013 the shareholding in the two associated Danish companies, Odin Energi and Jylland Olie, amounted to MSEK 185.

Tethys Oil's share of net profit during the first nine months 2013 from Odin Energi and Jylland Olie, which indirectly hold the Lithuanian licences, amounted to MSEK 6 (17) and MSEK 2 (-) for the third quarter. The result was mainly generated from selling 36,667 barrels of oil (Tethys Oil's indirect share) during the first nine months 2013 and 11,900 barrels of oil during the third quarter at an average price of USD 107 (-) per barrel for the nine months period and USD 109 (-) per barrel for the third quarter. During the second quarter a dividend from the Lithuanian investments was received amounting to MSEK 9 (17).

For the comparative period, nine months and third quarter 2012, the dividend received was accounted for in the income statement as the acquisition of the associated companies was still on-going during this period.

Tethys Oil receives cash flow from the Lithuanian investments only through dividends from the associated companies, which is normally received annually. For more information, please see note 7.

Parent company

The Parent company reports a net result after tax for the first nine months 2013 amounting to MSEK -34 (-145) and MSEK -5 (-17) for the third quarter. Administrative expenses amounted to MSEK 16 (8) for the first nine months 2013 and MSEK 4 (3) for the third quarter. Net financial loss amounted to MSEK 27 (154) during the first nine months 2013 and MSEK 6 (15) for the third quarter. Interest paid on the bond loan and the weaker US dollar has had a negative impact on net financial result during the first nine months 2013. The exchange rate losses regard translation differences and are non cash related. Investments during the first nine months 2013 amounted to MSEK 45 (227).

Note 1) Risks and uncertainties

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.

Operational risk

At its current stage of development Tethys Oil is partly commercially producing oil and partly exploring for and appraising undeveloped known oil and/or natural gas accumulations. The operational risk is different in these different 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 and its partners 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 profitability in projects and can make projects sub economic. Lower oil prices could also decrease the industry interest in Tethys Oil's projects regarding farmout or sale of assets. Another operational risk factor is access to equipment in Tethys Oil's project. Especially in the drilling/development phase of a project the group is dependent on advanced equipment such as rigs, casing, pipes etc. A shortage of theses 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.

Financial risk

By operating in several countries, Tethys Oil is exposed to fluctuations in a number of currencies. Income is and will also most likely be denominated in foreign currencies, US dollars in particular. Furthermore, Tethys Oil has since inception been equity financed through share issues and financed by asset divestment. Additional capital may be needed to finance Tethys Oil's future operations and/or for acquisition of additional licences. The main risk is that this need may occur during less favourable market conditions.

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 2012.

Note 2) Net sales of oil and gas

During the first nine months 2013, Tethys Oil sold 579,751 (549,720) barrels of oil after government take from Block 3 and 4 in Oman and 213,397 barrels (169,303 barrels) during the third quarter. This resulted in net sales during the first nine months 2013 of TSEK 398,792 (414,217) and TSEK 142,233 (115,738) during the third quarter. The average selling price per barrel amounted to USD 105.64 per barrel during the first nine months 2013 (109.99) and USD 102.13 (101.09) per barrel during the third quarter.

Tethys Oil is selling all of its oil through Mitsui Energy Trading Singapore, which is part of Mitsui & Co Ltd. All oil sales come from Blocks 3 & 4 Oman and are made on a monthly basis.

During the full year 2012, Mitsui received MUSD 58 from Tethys Oil's cost recovery.

Review report

We have reviewed this report for the period 1 January 2013 to 30 September 2013 for Tethys Oil AB (publ). The board of directors and Managing director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

We conducted our review in accordance with the Swedish Standard on Review Engagements SÖG 2410, Review of Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Parent Company.
