Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands--(Newsfile Corp. - January 11, 2018) - Tethys Petroleum Limited (TSX: TPL) ("Tethys" or the "Company") today announces an update of its gas drilling program.

Tethys is pleased to announce that it has completed drilling seven new shallow gas wells out of the previously announced eight well program. Due to weather conditions, the eighth well is expected to be drilled in the spring of 2018. All seven wells were tested successfully for gas at a depth of between 470 and 550 meters. In addition to the new wells drilled, one existing well has been successfully worked over.

By January 1, 2018 five wells, comprising one existing well and four new wells, had been tied in to the Company's existing pipelines and added to production. The other new wells, which are further from the Company's existing pipelines, are expected to be tied in during the spring of 2018.

Three of the new wells will be on production for three months after which production is required to cease whilst the mandatory reserves evaluation and reporting process is carried out.

There is also a need for repairs and parts replacement at the compressor station to increase capacity which the Company plans to do during 2018. Until these works are carried out the overall production increase from the new wells will be limited by existing compression capacity.

Given the need to cease production from certain wells whilst reserves evaluation and reporting takes place and the need for compressor repair and replacement works, it is anticipated that optimum production levels from all the new wells will be achieved towards the end of 2018.

About Tethys

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.
