CALGARY, Alberta, Aug. 28, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Serinus Energy Inc. (“Serinus”, “SEN” or the “Company”) (TSX:SEN)(WARSAW:SEN) provides an update on its operations in Tunisia. The Company has been informed by Entreprise Tunisienne D’Activites Petrolieres (“ETAP”) that the protests in the Kebili and Tataouine Governate regions have ended. This was further corroborated by news articles from Tunisia announcing the end of the protests.
The continued protests in the southern region were over jobs and development that blocked all oil field activities to the southern oilfields of Tunisia, including the Company’s Sabria field.
While the end of the protests is a critical and positive first step in the Company’s goal of resuming oil and gas production in Tunisia, the Company will continue its dialogue with the Government of Tunisia and our partner in the Sabria field ETAP to determine that the Company can resume production at its oil fields in a safe and secure environment with sufficient comfort that there will be no further production disruptions for the foreseeable future. As well, the Company has had no discussions with or notifications from the Ministry of Energy or the Ministry of Social Affairs as to what terms were offered to conclude the protests. Serinus has made no further commitments with regard to any additional employment or social contributions, and has been transparent in its discussions with the government and ETAP that we will continue to work with our partner and stakeholders to preserve the economic returns under current difficult market conditions.
The Company will update the market with regard to the progress of the resumption of production in Tunisia in due course
