Test production from the Early Production System (EPS) on Blocks 3 and 4 onshore the Sultanate of Oman continues and amounted in July to 130,057 barrels of oil, corresponding to 4,195 barrels of oil per day (BOPD). Tethys' share of the production, before government take, amounts to 30 per cent of the total, or 39,017 barrels. An enhancement of the equipment under the EPS in July, including an increase in tanker availability, has increased the EPS capacity. “We are delighted that EPS capacity is increasing while at the same time work on a permanent production system is continuing,” comments Tethys' Managing Director Magnus Nordin. Long term production tests have been carried out on wells from both the Saiwan East oil field on Block 4 and the Farha South oil field on Block 3. Production rates continue to vary depending on test programme design and available capacity. Tethys has a 30 per cent interest in Blocks 3 and 4. Partners are Mitsui E&P Middle East B.V. with 20 per cent and the operator CC Energy Development S.A.L. (Oman branch) holding the remaining 50 per cent.
