Tethys Oil continues to deliver solid results from its Omani operations in the third quarter 2017. And this despite that the period was impacted by the low oil prices over the summer. So clearly, the Omani onshore Blocks 3&4 continues to show that it remains a very robust and resilient asset. Operationally we continue to focus on optimizing the current production output while at the same time investing in exploration for future growth. The success we have enjoyed so far with our 2017 exploration drilling programme suggests that we have every reason to remain optimistic on the growth prospects within the Blocks. After two successful exploration wells in the first half of the year, a third well is currently being drilled on a structure located 5 kilometres south of last quarter's Ulfa discovery. Two additional exploration wells are planned to be spudded in the fourth quarter 2017. In addition, the final preparations are being made to launch a new 3D seismic campaign, targeting an area east of the Ulfa discovery.
During the quarter the expansion of the Farha South field continued adding two new, previously undrilled, fault blocks that were drilled and found to be oil bearing. So far in 2017 we have added five, previously undrilled, fault blocks to the operations at the Farha field. A total of nine wells were drilled on Blocks 3&4 in the third quarter, including appraisal and production wells and wells for water injection.
We produced 1,136,559 barrels of oil in the quarter, which was in line with the second quarter 2017. The quarter included the highest monthly production ever on Blocks 3&4, 12,719 bopd in July, but also a weaker September with 11,894 bopd, when production was below production recommendation. Remedial work is being carried out on Blocks 3&4 including changing flowlines and improving water handling, which have impacted the production negatively in the short term but aiming at improving overall performance in the long term.
Following the extended OPEC agreement with certain production quotas, we expect that Tethys Oil's average daily production until the end of the first quarter 2018 will be in line with the average daily production achieved so far in 2017, albeit with continued and possibly increasing month to month fluctuations.
After a substantial drop in June, the oil prices bottomed out at about USD 44 per barrel at the end of the second quarter 2017. During the third quarter, the oil price has gradually strengthened to about USD 60 by the end of the quarter. Given our two months lag in achieved selling price, we will be able to benefit from these new levels in the fourth quarter. In the third quarter though, our average selling price decreased almost 10 percent from USD 53.7 in the second quarter to USD 48.6 per barrel.
Although the lower oil price affected our revenues and EBITDA negatively compared to the second quarter, our financial performance continued to be solid. For the quarter, we report revenues of MUSD 28.5, down 9 percent compared with the second quarter. Our EBITDA amounted to MUSD 18.2, down 13 percent compared with the second quarter. Following a cash flow from operations after investments in oil and gas of MUSD 15.8, our net cash position increased from MUSD 32.3 to MUSD 47.5. Tethys Oil paid the operator cash call for July 2017 during the second quarter 2017, hence one cash call less was paid during the third quarter which affected the cash flow positively. Our operating expenses per barrel amounted to USD 8.1, in line with the range from the last five quarters of USD 7.3 to 8.2 per barrel. The result for the period amounted to MUSD 4.8, down from USD 10.6 in the second quarter 2017. The net result was negatively affected by non-cash items following the depreciation of the USD against SEK during the quarter.
Tethys Oil continue to produce oil at high levels. But we are also planning for our future production, in 2018 and beyond. Reserve growth will become increasingly important in order to both maintain current production levels and to build production capacity. Our work programme in 2017 has been very successful, with five new, previously undrilled, fault blocks on Farha South found oil bearing and two (out of two so far) exploration wells resulting in new discoveries, Erfan and Ulfa. Both wells continue to deliver good rates. An appraisal program is on-going in Erfan and the appraisal of Ulfa will start in 2018. And hopefully the year will continue with further
discoveries. The exploration well Samah-1 is currently being drilled south of the Ulfa discovery. And we are planning to spud two additional exploration wells in the fourth quarter, one near and one far field well. And to guide our future exploration programmes, we also launch a new 3D seismic acquisition in an area east of Ulfa discovery. As we have stated in the past, we have a large inventory of undrilled leads and prospects and we hope the 3D seismic acquisition will result in even more.
Regarding capital structure, we are targeting a balanced approach between growth and shareholder distributions. Since we generate more money than we spend, we have initiated a share repurchase programme in the third quarter.
So, stay with us. We have many exciting years of growth in Blocks 3&4 and who knows, maybe somewhere else also!

Tethys Oil's core area is onshore the Sultanate of Oman ("Oman"), where the company holds a 30 percent interest in Blocks 3&4 ("Blocks 3&4"). Tethys Oil also has interests in three licenses onshore Lithuania2 and in one license onshore France3 .
Production comes primarily from three fields on Blocks 3&4; Farha South, Shahd and Saiwan East. Tethys Oil's share of production, before government take, from Blocks 3&4 during the third quarter 2017 was 1,127,816 barrels of oil, corresponding to 12,259 bopd. The third quarter 2017 included the highest monthly production ever on Blocks 3&4, 12,719 bopd in July, but also a weaker September with 11,894 bopd, when production was below the production recommendation. The average daily production is in line with the second quarter 2017.
In December 2016, OPEC and certain non-OPEC members agreed to reduce each country's oil production for an initial period of six months starting 1 January 2017. The Oman Ministry of Oil and Gas advised the larger producers in the country of a production level recommendation. For Blocks 3&4 the production level recommendation was 41,000 bopd, or 12,300 bopd net to Tethys Oil. At the end of the first half of 2017, Oman agreed with OPEC to extend the production limitations for another nine months until the end of the first quarter 2018. Tethys Oil expects daily production until end of first quarter 2018 to be in line with the daily production during the first half of 2017, albeit with continued and possible increasing month to month fluctuations.
Production on the Gargzdai field, Lithuania, decreased following natural decline of the wells.

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 third quarter 2017. Segments of the Group are geographical markets.
2 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.
3 The Attila licence has been extended until February 2019 and Tethys Oil is currently reviewing the prospectivety and potential for additional work. The Permis du Bassin D'Alès licence, which has been dormant, has not been renewed.
4 On Blocks 3&4, the joint operations share of production (after government take) is currently 52 percent of total production. The basis of production sharing is further explained in the Annual report 2016.
During the third quarter 2017, Tethys Oil sold 568,796 barrels of oil from Blocks 3&4, which is in line with the second quarter of 2017 when 565,331 barrels of oil were sold. The sales volumes in the third quarter 2017 have resulted in an increased underlift position.
The average selling price amounted to USD 48.6 per barrel during the third quarter 2017, compared to USD 53.7 during the second quarter 2017. The average price for Dated Brent oil for the third quarter 2017 amounted to USD 52.2 per barrel.
Net sales during the third quarter 2017 was MUSD 27.7 compared to MUSD 30.3 during the second quarter 2017. The adjustment for the increased underlift position amounted to MUSD 0.8 and together with net sales of MUSD 27.7 add up to revenue of MUSD 28.5 during the third quarter 2017. The third quarter 2017 revenue is down 9 percent compared to the second quarter 2017 revenue of MUSD 31.4 mainly due to the decrease in oil prices.
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. The company has an underlift position during the third quarter 2017, which as per 30 September 2017 amounts to 24,756 barrels.

| Netback | 17.2 | 20.6 | 18.7 | 15.7 | 15.7 |
Netback during the third quarter 2017 is lower than the second quarter 2017 mainly due to the decrease in oil prices.
Tethys Oil holds indirect interest in the three Lithuanian licences; Gargzdai, Rietavas and Raseiniai, through associated companies Jylland Olie and Odin Energi. The result from Tethys Oil's share in these associated companies during the third quarter 2017 amounted to MUSD -0.0 compared to MUSD -0.1 during the second quarter 2017.
Administrative expenses amounted to MUSD 1.1 for the third quarter 2017 compared to MUSD 2.1 during the second quarter 2017. Administrative expenses are mainly salaries, rents, listing costs and external services. Administrative expenses have been relatively stable between the quarters, however the second quarter 2017 was impacted by costs related to the employee incentive program amounting to MUSD 0.5.
The net financial result amounted during the third quarter to MUSD -3.4 compared to MUSD -0.4 during the second quarter 2017. The net financial result for the third quarter 2017 is primarily related to currency exchange effects and costs for the loan facility. Currency exchange differences recorded on loans between the parent company and subsidiaries are non-cash related items. Interest and fees related to the loan facility amounted to MUSD -0.0 and other financial costs amounted to MUSD -0.3.
In Oman, Tethys Oil's oil and gas operations are governed by an Exploration and Production Sharing Agreement ("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. These taxes are netted against revenue in the income statement.
Tethys Oil reports a net result after tax for the third quarter 2017 of MUSD 4.8, representing earnings per share (after dilution) of USD 0.14. The result for the third quarter 2017 is down compared to the second quarter 2017 where the net result amounted to MUSD 10.6.
During the third quarter 2017, total investments amounted to MUSD 4.1 of which almost all relate to Blocks 3&4.

Two appraisal/production wells were drilled in the previously undrilled fault blocks Y and AZ on the Farha South field in the third quarter 2017. Fault block Y is located between fault blocks X and N, in the southern part of the field. The well was drilled vertically down to the target, the Barik sandstone. The well encountered oil and has been connected to the production system. Fault block AZ is located 1.6 kilometres south of fault block AO, also in the southern end of the field. The well was drilled vertically down to the target, the Barik sandstone. The well encountered oil and will be connected to the production system in the fourth quarter.
In addition, four water injection wells were drilled on the field.
Three appraisal/production wells were drilled in the previously drilled structures H and I on the Shahd field. Two wells encountered oil and have been connected to the production system and one well will undergo production testing during the fourth quarter. Main targets of the wells were the Khufai formation.
Ongoing maintenance and updating work was conducted on all fields during the quarter, including changing flowlines and improving water handling, which have impacted the production negatively in the short term but aiming at improving overall performance in the long term.
The exploration well Samah-1 was spudded in late August 2017 on Block 3. Samah-1 will test a structure located 5 kilometres south of the Ulfa discovery. Main targets of the well are the Khufai and the Middle/Lower Buah formations. The well is being drilled vertically to a planned total depth (TVD) of 4,055 metres.
The two discoveries made in the first half of 2017, the exploration wells Erfan-1 and Ulfa-1, continue to deliver good rates and an appraisal program is on-going in Erfan. The appraisal of the Ulfa discovery will start in 2018.
In addition, Tethys Oil has a large inventory of undrilled prospects and is planning to spud two additional exploration wells as part of the 2017 exploration drilling programme, one near and one far-field well.
Preparations are ongoing for the launch of a new 3D seismic campaign east of the Ulfa discovery. The study will cover an area of about 400 square kilometres and is expected to commence in the fourth quarter.
A number of new ventures projects have been reviewed and several continue to be evaluated.
As per 30 September 2017, 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 second quarter 2017. For further information regarding the ownership structure, please refer to the Annual report 2016. The book value related to Minijos Nafta (Gargzdai) is zero and there are no liabilities related to Minijos Nafta. Tethys Oil does not recognize any negative net result from Minijos Nafta.
Production on the Gargzdai licence has decreased following natural decline of the wells. During the third quarter 2017, an average of 16 wells were in production on the license. Old 2D seismic covering the Rietavas licence has been reprocessed to further evaluate two leads. Interpretation of this data has commenced.
Cash and bank and Net cash as per 30 September 2017 amounted to MUSD 47.5 compared to MUSD 32.3 as per 30 June 2017.
In May 2017 a dividend of SEK 1.00 per share was paid to shareholders, which in total amounted to MUSD 3.9.
During the third quarter 2017, cash flow from operations amounted to MUSD 19.9 and investments in oil and gas amounted to MUSD 4.1. For the third quarter 2017 cash flow from operations after investments in oil and gas amounted to MUSD 15.8.
Tethys Oil paid the operator cash call for July 2017 during the second quarter 2017, hence one cash call less was paid during the third quarter which affected the cash position positively.
Tethys Oil's operations on Blocks 3&4, including investment program, 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 flow from operations and available cash in the associated Lithuanian companies.
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.
Of the Export Reporting Error amount of MUSD 5.9, MUSD 0.2 was repaid during the third quarter 2017 resulting in Current provisions amounting to MUSD 1.0 and Non-current provisions to MUSD 3.3, hence a total amount remaining to be settled of MUSD 4.3, to be repaid in equal monthly instalments until 2022.
The Parent company reports a net result after tax for the third quarter 2017 amounting to MSEK -24.3 compared to MSEK -6.7 for the second quarter 2017. Administrative expenses amounted to MSEK 4.0 for the third quarter 2017 compared to MSEK 12.5 for the second quarter 2017. Net financial result amounted to MSEK -23.4 during the third quarter 2017 compared to MSEK 3.7 for the second quarter 2017. Currency exchange losses related to loans to subsidiaries is the main reason for the negative result during the quarter.
As per 30 September 2017, 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 per 30 June 2017. Tethys Oil has a warrant based incentive programme for employees, for further information please see note 8 on page 20. As the subscription prices are above the share price as per the reporting date in this report there are no dilution effects per 30 September 2017. If the subscription prices have been below the share price during the reporting period, the dilution effects have been included in the weighted average number of shares in circulation after dilution.
As per 30 September 2017, Tethys Oil held 1,380,536 of its own shares which have been purchased since commencement of the programme during the fourth quarter 2014. 51,312 shares were purchased during the third quarter 2017. The repurchased shares are still included in the total number of shares, but are not included in the average number of shares in circulation. The weighted average number of shares in circulation during the third quarter 2017 before dilution is 34,209,858 and after dilution 34,226,093.

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 third quarter and nine months report 2017 of the Tethys Oil Group has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. The third quarter and nine months report 2017 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 2016 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 2016 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 September 2017 | 31 December 2016 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Currency | Average | Period end | Average | Period end | ||
| SEK/USD | 8.76 | 8.02 | 8.63 | 9.42 | ||
| SEK/EUR | 9.68 | 9.63 | 9.52 | 9.80 |
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 third quarter 2017, 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 per 30 September 2017. Further, Oman has, following an agreement with OPEC, imposed a production recommendation relating to Blocks 3&4 for the first six months of 2017. This agreement has been extended to cover also the period up to the end of the first quarter 2018. The production recommendation affects 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 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.
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 2016.
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.

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Tethys Oil AB (publ) as of 30 September 2017 and the nine-month period then ended. The board of directors and the Managing director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim financial information 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 International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 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.
