CYGAM–s Q2 and year to date results showed significant improvements in both production volumes and revenues over prior years arising from the TT Field that is contained within the Bir Ben Tartar (“BBT”) Concession in the Sud Remada Permit. Strong pricing, excellent netbacks and cash flow from its Brent- priced Tunisian oil production resulted in CYGAM–s continued profitability in 2012.
