- Tethys Petroleum Limited (TSXV:TPL) is an oil and gas exploration and production company focused on Central Asia, primarily the Republic of Kazakhstan, where it acquires, explores, develops, produces and sells crude oil and natural gas from fields including the Akkulka, Kul-Bas and Aral-4 blocks; it operates shallow gas developments tied to major trunklines, deep exploration wells such as AKD01, and oil production from wells like KBD-02, KBD-06 and KBD-07, alongside gas output from approximately 20 wells averaging 240,000 cubic meters per day. Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, the company conducts seismic data interpretation on blocks like Aral-4 and Diyar, rehabilitates existing wells, and deploys gas compressors and turbines to support production ramps; it previously held interests in Tajikistan's Bokhtar PSC area for gas and oil workovers. Recent operational updates include gradual oil production increases to around 390 tons per day with plans to reach 500 tons per day in November 2025 following gas turbine repairs and compressor commissioning, alongside ongoing workovers to reactivate suspended gas wells; in September 2025, Fincraft Group LLP submitted a non-binding letter of intent to acquire all outstanding shares at 1.38 CAD per share, prompting the formation of a special committee by the board to review the proposal, though no further response on financing or approvals has been received as of October 2025.
