(firmenpresse) - GRAND CAYMAN, CAYMAN ISLANDS -- (Marketwired) -- 03/29/16 -- Tethys Petroleum Limited (TSX: TPL)(LSE: TPL) today announced its Annual Results for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Reserve Highlights
The reserve report was prepared by Gustavson Associates in full accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 51-101, Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities of the Canadian Securities Administrators. The Company's 2015 Annual Information Form dated March 29, 2016 includes more detailed disclosure and reports relating to petroleum and natural gas activities for 2015. Both oil and gas reserves are based on availability of sufficient funding to allow development of the known accumulations. The estimated value (NPV10) of the reserves does not represent fair market value.
Chairman's Message
John Bell, co-Chairman, said: "2015 saw unprecedented challenges in the oil and gas industry worldwide. Kazakhstan saw its own unique challenges with declining prices and a massive depreciation in the Kazakh Tenge starting the year at 180 Tenge to the USD and ending up around 350 Tenge to the USD. This put pressure on revenues and a severe strain on the Kazakh banking industry. Despite this the Company adjusted to the new paradigm and in 2015 we have halved the Company's G&A and Business Development expenses, whilst increasing gas production by 98% at a higher gas price. These costs are forecast to reduce further to $6 million on an annualised basis. Furthermore, we secured a new in-country strategic partner in Olisol Petroleum Limited and progressed on reaching a binding agreement which will lead to a recapitalisation of the business, ensure the Company's continued operations and will see Olisol becoming a major shareholder. I believe we are now better placed to realise value from the assets and have the right in-country partner to achieve success in Kazakhstan."
The full Annual Results together with Management's Discussion and Analysis and Annual Information Form have been filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities. Copies of the filed documents may be obtained via SEDAR at or on Tethys' website at . The summary financial statements are attached to this press release.
The Company's 2015 financial statements are prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Tethys is focused on oil and gas exploration and production activities in Central Asia and the Caspian Region. This highly prolific oil and gas area is rapidly developing and Tethys believes that significant potential exists in both exploration and in discovered deposits.
