To date 11 wells have been drilled on the Block and all but one have encountered oil or oil shows, although none have been determined to be commercial. The current operator has successfully drilled three of these wells. Testing operations of three previously drilled wells were successfully completed in the first quarter 2020. One of the wells confirmed the presence of an active petroleum system with a crude oil quality of 20-25 degrees API and medium viscosity, although the commercial viability is yet to be determined. Tethys Oil acquired its initial 20 percent interest in the block in the fourth quarter 2019. In October 2020, Tethys Oil, entered into an agreement with Medco Arabia Ltd whereby Tethys will acquire a 45 percent interest in the exploration and production license covering Block 56 onshore Oman. The transaction will increase Tethys’ interest in Block 56 from 20 to 65 percent. Upon closing, Tethys Oil will assume operatorship of the block from Medco, who will retain a 5 percent interest in the license. The transaction is subject to government approval. The Block lies at the intersection of different geological provinces including the prolific South Oman Salt Basin. It offers exploration potential in multiple play concepts, both proven and unproven, many of which are familiar to Tethys Oil from its current operations in the country. The license for Block 56 is governed by an Exploration and Production Sharing Agreement signed in November 2014. Its initial three-year exploration phase has been extended until December 2020. The partners have elected to enter into the second exploration phase ending in December 2023.
