Tethys Petroleum Limited: Kazakhstan Drilling Update

Tethys Petroleum Limited ("Tethys" or the "Company") (TSX: TPL) today gave a brief update on its operations in Kazakhstan focused on its oil exploration and appraisal program.

The AKD03 (Dione) exploration well is currently at a depth of 2,823 metres (in what is interpreted to be the middle Jurassic sequence) and casing has been run. Hydrocarbons have been indicated from drilling and log data in three zones and a testing programme is planned for the near future. Once this testing programme has been carried out the well will be drilled deeper into the Triassic sequence.

The G6RE (Dodone) well has now been drilled to a depth of 2,835 metres in order to test a deeper potential oil bearing zone identified from the wireline logs in the original G6 hole. The hole is currently being prepared to run casing but differential sticking in the bottom section probably caused by higher formation pressures and permeable zones has slowed down the process. Once casing has been run, preparations for testing can commence.
