Dear Friends and Investors,
The most significant event for the quarter is by far the increased and successful activity on our operated Block 56. The Al Jumd-2 horizontal appraisal well reached a total measured depth of 2,032 meters and tested at an initial rate of 700 bopd from a 430-metre section of the Al Khalata sandstone! These results superbly support our expectations and compares very favourably with the Al Jumd-1 vertical well which flowed 100 bopd when tested in January 2020. An early production system is being installed to enable a long term, six months, test of the Al Jumd structure and we are accelerating the drilling of additional appraisal wells. The plan is to complete two further horizontal wells during the third quarter this year and to sequentially hook up all four Al Jumd wells to the long-term test unit beginning with Al Jumd-1 and Al Jumd-2 in late June or early July. The test program could give a limited but still important boost to our production for the year while yielding valuable data in understanding the long-term potential of the Al Jumd structure and other prospective structures in the Al Jumd area.
In addition to the Al Jumd-2 appraisal well, the Sabah-1 exploration well and the Sarha-3 appraisal well were drilled nearby. Both had oil shows while drilling and both wells will undergo an extensive test programme during the second quarter. Depending on results of these tests, both structures could be suitable for the drilling of horizontal appraisal wells later this year.
And Block 56 activity does not end here. A 2,000 km2 3D seismic study covering the 'Central Area' of the Block was also successfully completed. This area covers a part of the Block where vintage 2D seismic suggests the presence of more than a dozen leads. Seismic processing and interpretation will last until the end of 2022 and if some of these leads can be matured into prospects exploration drilling in the 'Central Area' could commence within a year.
Last quarter I said that Block 56 offers a smorgasbord of opportunity and resembles the state of development where Blocks 3&4 were 10 years ago. The results of the Block 56 work programme so far this year in no way contradicts either of those statements!
And turning to Blocks 3&4 we gratefully accept production of close to 10,500 bopd for the quarter. This is however still below expectations and deserves a few comments. The good news is that most of the catch-up spending and upgrade of surface facilities that was deemed necessary is well underway and most bottlenecks have been cleared. The bad news is that the small, but not unimportant, Anan field which came on stream in 2021 has performed below expectations. The cause is under investigation but until we know more, we elect to lower the lower limit of our guidance for average daily production for the year to 10,500-11,000 bopd (down from 11,000- 11,500 bopd). It is still possible that production will recover and any exploration success on Blocks 3&4 could also have a positive impact but that is for the future to show. For clarity I should also say that any test production from Blocks 56 is not included in this guidance.
Turning to the financials, the oil price development overshadows most other factors. World events continue to have a very strong, and to large degree, unforeseeable, impact on price developments, but many signs now suggest that the oil market will remain tight for the rest of the year.
While we closely follow international developments, we are also fully focused on our operated Blocks and on working closely with the operator on Blocks 3&4. In addition, we have completed another seismic study on our other operated Block 58, and we are about to conclude two studies on our operated Block 49 to better understand the best way to handle the Thameen-1 well before the decision to either extend or relinquish the license. Our 30 percent interest in the CCED-operated Blocks 3&4 continues to provide the cash flow to fund our operated activities and enable us to distribute cash to you, our shareholders. If the AGM on May 18 approves the Board's proposal for distribution this year, a total of SEK 7 per share will be transferred to the shareholders.
So, stay with us!
We live in interesting, if also disturbing, times.
Stockholm, May 2022 Magnus Nordin Managing Director

Tethys Oil's core area is onshore in the Sultanate of Oman ("Oman"), where the Group holds interest in four exploration and production sharing agreements ("EPSA") per 31 March 2022:
| Licences & Agreements |
Tethys Oil Interest % |
Phase | Expiry date | Partners (operator in bold) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Blocks 3&4, Oman | 30 | Production phase | July 2040 | CCED, Mitsui E&P, Tethys Oil |
| Block 49, Oman | 100 | Initial exploration phase | June 2022 | Tethys Oil |
| Block 56, Oman | 65 | Second exploration phase | December 2023 | Tethys Oil, Medco Arabia, Biyaq, Intaj |
| Block 58, Oman | 100 | Initial exploration phase | July 2023 | Tethys Oil |
Tethys Oil's share of production from Blocks 3&4 during the first quarter 2022, before government take, was 942,768 barrels of oil, corresponding to 10,475 barrels of oil per day or a decrease of two percent when compared to the previous quarter. The lower production is primarily the result of
underperformance from the Anan field on Blocks 3&4. The Anan field was discovered in late 2020 and put in production during 2021. During the quarter, as development work continued on the field, the water cut increased unexpectedly. The causes of the increased water cut are under investigation.

The production guidance for the full year of 2022 has been revised to an average of 10,500-11,000 barrels of oil per day. The previous guidance was 11,000- 11,500 barrels of oil per day for the full year of 2022.
During the first quarter, the catch-up programme to increase the number producing wells continued. In all, eight new production wells were completed on Blocks 3&4 during the quarter, including two each in Anan and Erfan, three in Farha and one in Shahd I. Additional production wells will be drilled and connected to the production system in the second quarter while workover efforts are made to increase the output of the current production wells. The work programme 2022 is also planned to be expanded to include the contracting of a fourth drilling rig.
Tethys Oil's oil sales derives from its 30 percent interest in Blocks 3&4. The share of the oil production from Blocks 3&4 that Tethys Oil is entitled to sell is called "Net Entitlement". The Net Entitlement is calculated monthly in accordance with The revised estimates reflect a continued underperformance from the Anan field for the rest of the year.
Simultaneously, the production assurance and asset integrity projects continued according to plan. The projects include the replacement of current flow lines and additional loop lines as well as water handling initiatives in order to increase the output from wells with high water cut.
The installation of increased water handling capacity as well as the effect of the underperformance of the Anan field is expected to continue to impact production during the second quarter.
the terms of the EPSA. The Net Entitlement is made up of two components: Cost Oil and Profit Oil. The Cost Oil is the value of recoverable costs incurred in the period and any outstanding balance of unrecovered historical cost from previous periods ("the Cost Pool"). The total amount of Cost Oil a given period is capped to a fixed share of total production, after conversion to barrels using the Official Selling Price ("OSP"). What remains after the deduction of Cost Oil is Profit Oil, which is split between the government and contractors according to a fixed percentage.
During the first quarter 2022, Net Entitlement increased slightly to 433,052 barrels (Q4 2021: 432,469 barrels). The increased number of entitlement barrels is a result of the combination of lower production, higher recoverable costs incurred, which were offset by a higher Average Official selling Price ("Average OSP")1 during the interim period.
The Net Entitlement share of production increased to 46 percent in the quarter (Q4 2021: 44 percent). The average OSP was USD 79.0 per barrel in the first quarter 2022, an increase of 6 percent compared to the average OSP of USD 74.6 per barrel in the fourth quarter 2021.
During the first quarter 2022 all recoverable costs incurred on Blocks 3&4 were recovered through Cost Oil, and as a result there was no Cost Pool at the end of the quarter.
In the first quarter 2022, Tethys Oil sold 479,544 barrels of oil from Blocks 3&4 compared to 514,683 barrels of oil in the fourth quarter 2021. As of 31 March 2022, Tethys Oil had an increased overlift position of 58,360 barrels compared to the overlift position of 11,886 barrels at 31 December 2021.2

1 Tethys Oil's monthly sales are priced using Oman's Official Selling Price (OSP) which is calculated using the monthly average price of the front month futures contract of Oman blend (with 2 months to delivery) as traded on the Dubai Mercantile Exchange, including trading and quality adjustments. The Average OSP is calculated as the production weighted average of the monthly Official Selling Price (OSP) for Omani Export Blend in the quarter and does not take into consideration the timing of monthly liftings, and any trading and quality adjustments (as is the case with the Achieved oil price).
2 Tethys Oil sells all of its oil from Blocks 3&4 on a monthly basis to a service provider under a long-term contract. Oil sales volumes are nominated by Tethys Oil two to three months in advance and are not based upon the actual production in a month; as a result, the Group's oil sales volumes can be above or below production entitlement volumes. Where the oil sales volume exceeds the volume of entitlement barrels produced, an overlift position occurs and where it is less, an underlift position occurs. Tethys Oil is contractually obliged to maintain a neutral under-/overlift position over time.
The three-well campaign in the Al Jumd area on Block 56 was finalised during the quarter without incidents and with good oil shows in all targeted formations.
The Al Jumd-2 well was drilled as a horizontal appraisal well to a measured depth of 2,032 meters in the Al Khalata sandstone corresponding to a true vertical depth of 1,137 meters. A 430 metre long section of the well was completed for production and initial flowrates amounted to 700 bopd. The well will be further appraised by a long-term production test, at least six months in length, scheduled to commence later in the second quarter.
Al Jumd-2 was followed by Sahab-1 a vertical exploration well drilled in an adjacent previously undrilled structure within the Al Jumd trend about 4km south from Sarha. Sahab-1 encountered oil in the Al Khalata, Karim and the Ara carbonates layers
Seismic acquisition and/or interpretation and processing of seismic data is underway on Blocks 3&4, Block 56 and Block 58. In the southern part of Block 4, the campaign covering up to 3,500 km2 is progressing and is expected to be completed in the latter parts of 2022. Similarly, the data interpretation and processing in the areas of South Lahan and Fahd and was drilled to a depth of 1,400 metres. Sabah will be tested once test operations on Sarha-3 are completed.
The third well drilled was the Sarha-3 well, an appraisal/exploration well in the Sarha discovery 24km southwest of Al Jumd. Sarha was discovered in 2007 by a previous operator and flowed close to 100 bopd on test from the Al Khalata layer. Sarha-3 was drilled as a vertical well to a depth of 1,200 metres Both the Al Khalata and Karim layers had oil shows and testing operations of Sarha-3 are in the final stages of preparation.
Before drilling, prospective resources for the three wells combined were estimated at seven mmbo (gross, unrisked). As testing and other results are made available, these estimates will be revised and updated.
on Block 58 is progressing as planned. The well design for a Fahd prospect is near completion and the first exploration well on the Block is expected to be spudded before the end of the year. On Block 56 the seismic acquisition in the central area was completed during the quarter and the processing of this data will begin during the second quarter.


The first exploration well of the year on Blocks 3&4, Hamdah-1, did not encounter any oil. The well aimed to prove an extension of the Khufai play in the area
Tethys Oil is still in the process of receiving the formal approval of taking over EOG's 50 percent share of the Block. Simultaneously, the analysis on how to best move forward on the Block is ongoing, with a decision to be made in the coming months, prior to the expiry date of Tethys Oil's license. The main focus is on the Thameen-1 well and how to best
The gas utilisation project, which has been initiated to reduce the routine flaring of associated gas, is progressing. The aim of the project is to utilise the associated gas (produced as a by-product of the produced crude oil) for local power generation with permanent facilities thus reducing the use of dieselpowered generators. The result is expected to be an and is currently undergoing well and model evaluation.

overall reduction of emissions as well as a reduction of operating costs regarding energy usage. During the quarter the partner group found that it would be more advantageous to lease-to-own the powerplant rather than to own it directly, this will shift certain expenditures from an accounting perspective but will not affect the partner group's control of the project.

The financial review is performed by analysing the current interim reporting period performance versus previous interim reporting period. Accordingly, the current interim financial review is focused on developments in the first quarter 2022 compared to the fourth quarter 2021. Management believes that this analysis more precisely demonstrates trends and achievements of the Tethys Oil Group activities.
Tethys Oil's Revenue is comprised of revenue from oil sold in the period and an underlift/overlift adjustment.
The achieved oil price in the first quarter 2022 amounted to USD 80.4 per barrel, an increase of USD 6.7 per barrel, from USD 73.7 per barrel in the fourth quarter 2021. The achieved oil price in the first quarter was higher than the Average OSP as a result of a favourable mix of liftings to higher priced months.
Please note that the interim financial report (next section) is presented in accordance with IAS 34, which requires presentation of the current interim period in comparison to the comparable interim period of the immediately preceding financial year. This financial interim report for the first quarter 2022 presents financial results compared to the first quarter 2021.
Revenue in the first quarter 2022 was MUSD 38.5 compared to MUSD 37.9 in the fourth quarter 2021, an increase of 2 percent. The increase in revenue compared to the previous quarter is a result of a combination of higher oil prices for the first quarter compensating for a decrease in the number Barrels of oil sold. An increase in the overlift position and the oil price increase in the first quarter 2022, give rise to an overlift adjustment of MUSD -3.9 (-6.1). Accordingly, Total Revenue in the first quarter 2022 amounted to MUSD 34.6 compared to MUSD 31.8 in the fourth quarter 2021.

Production costs relate to oil production on Blocks 3&4, and comprise expenses for throughput fees, energy, consumables, equipment rental, field staff and maintenance, as well as administration, including operator overhead.
Operating expenses, including costs for well workovers and interventions, for the first quarter 2022 amounted to MUSD 12.6 an increase compared to the fourth quarter 2021, when operating expenditure amounted to MUSD 11.3. The increased operating expenditure was a result of an overall increase in activity and the annual payment of staff benefits incurred in the first quarter of 2022. The increase in total expenditure together with lower production resulted in an increase of the operating expenses per barrel to USD 13.4 compared to USD 11.5 in the fourth quarter 2021.

Depletion, depreciation and amortisation ("DD&A") is comprised of two components; a straight-line depreciation component and unit of production component and relates predominantly to the group's oil and gas properties. During the first quarter 2022 DD&A amounted to MUSD 10.5, compared to MUSD 9.9 in the fourth quarter 2021
for Blocks 3&4. The higher DD&A in the first quarter 2022 is a result of annual re-calculation of the depreciation rate. The depreciation rate increase resulted with a higher DD&A unit of production. DD&A also includes depreciation relating to Group leases of MUSD 0.1.

The parent company operating loss in the first quarter 2022 amounted to MSEK -6.5 compared to MSEK -9.3 for the fourth quarter 2021. Administration expenses during the period was MSEK 10.1 compared to MSEK 12.5 in the previous period.
As at 31 March 2022, the total number of issued shares in Tethys Oil AB was 33,056,608, with a quota value of SEK 0.18 (SEK 0.18). All shares represent one vote each.
On 9 September 2021 the Board of Directors decided, based on the authorisation from the AGM 2021, to initiate a share buy-back programme. Since the initiation of the share buy-back programme and until 31 December 2021 the Company has repurchased a total of 39,033 shares. As of 31 December 2021, Tethys Oil held 474,673 shares in treasury – the equivalent of 1.4 percent of issued shares. During first quarter 2022 Tethys Oil did not repurchase any shares, resulting in an unchanged number of shares in treasury as on 31 December 2021.
For the financial year 2021, the Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") 2022 a total distribution of SEK 7.00 per share, corresponding to MSEK 228.1 in total. The distribution, subject to approval by the AGM, is proposed to be made by a cash dividend of SEK 2.00 per share and SEK 5.00 per share by a mandatory share redemption programme.
The Net financial result in the first quarter 2022 amounted to MSEK 17.6 (MSEK 353.7). Net financial result consisted of currency exchange gains on intercompany loans.
For the complete repurchase authorisation, please refer to Tethys Oil's website, www.tethysoil.com.
Tethys Oil currently has three active warrant-based incentive programmes for employees, (for further information please see Note 8) which, if exercised can result in the issuance of up to 959,500 new shares (a potential 2,9 percent increase of total shares issued). During the first quarter 2022 the Tethys Oil share price was above the subscription price of all three programmes, thus resulting in a calculated potential dilution effect on the average number of shares outstanding. Due to rounding, the dilution effect on earnings per share for the first quarter of 2022 is not visible in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
(The AGM 2021 resolved on a total distribution of SEK 4.00 per share, of which SEK 2.00 per share as cash dividend and SEK 2.00 per share by a mandatory share redemption programme, equal to MSEK 130.4).
