• Average net daily production decreased by 7% for the first nine months of fiscal year 2015 to 1,863 boe/d (77% oil) from 1,992 boe/d (56% oil) for the same period last year due to lower Sidewinder gas production.

Alex Guidi, chairman of TAG, commented:

Although we are reducing the level of high-risk capital expenditure, TAG controls a quality, long-term development-stage asset, producing premium-priced (Brent) light oil with substantial remaining development, appraisal and exploration upside in multiple proven producing formations. When oil prices improve, should markets become more favorable, or should other opportunities arise, TAG is in position to increase the level of exploration activity.
