Tethys Petroleum (TSXV: TPL) has provided an operational update from Kazakhstan. The company has resumed gas production at Akkulka and Kyzloi fields on April 10, 2025, with 20 out of 21 wells operational, achieving stable production of 205,000-210,000 cubic meters per day. Oil production faced temporary reductions in March due to severe weather affecting shipments, but has recently averaged 320 tons daily.
The company's latest reserve report by McDaniel and Associates Consultants shows that while total proved and probable reserves remain stable year-over-year, the Net Present Value (NPV) at 10% discount rate decreased to $560 million from $629 million in 2023, representing an 11% decline. This reduction is attributed to lower Brent crude prices, wider Brent export differentials, and government restrictions on refined product exports impacting domestic refinery pricing.
