MUSCAT, January 9, 2024 – Tethys Oil has successfully drilled the Menna-1 exploration well in preparation for the field development plan of Block 56 in Oman, the Swedish oil and gas company announced on Monday.

The well was drilled to a total depth of 1,600 metres, with finds recorded in the Al Khlata, Karim and Birba formations.
