Highlights: Operational - Average daily production after treatment for H1 2021 totalled 18,107 boepd with average daily sales volumes for H1 of 16,249 boepd.

We continue to implement stringent precautionary measures and we believe we have the systems in place to monitor and manage the risks presented by the pandemic in west Kazakhstan. To date, no production has been lost because of COVID- 19. - A well workover and well intervention programme started in April 2021. The programme is currently for 6 workovers and up to 20 interventions with an expected cost of US$7.3 million. - We continue to focus on ways to monetise spare capacity in the gas treatment facility through processing third party volumes. - On 23 July 2021, the Company announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Zhaikmunai LLP ("Zhaikmunai") had agreed with Ural Oil & Gas LLP ("Ural OG") to extend the deadline under the Agreements for Ural OG’s first delivery of gas and liquid gas-condensate to Zhaikmunai by approximately six months, from 9 April 2023 to 31 October 2023.
