AUSTRALIS OIL & GAS For Immediate Release 24 August 2021 ASX Announcement First Half 2021 Financial Report Australis Oil & Gas Ltd ( " Australis " or " Company " ) is pleased to provide its consolidated financial results for the half year ended 30 June 2021 . Following the unprecedented oil price volatility in 2020 , largely caused by the global COVID - 19 virus pandemic , the oil price rebounded in late 2020 and continued to strengthen during the reporting period as oil demand recovered . Supply and development activity , particularly in the US , was however restrained as operators remain cautious and maintained capital expenditure discipline . As the business environment improves with sustained higher oil prices , Australis remains confident the appropriate strategic partner will be secured to recommence activity in the TMS and progress the value creation strategy . During the reporting period Australis continued to safeguard the TMS asset and its ownership of the large undeveloped reserves and resources in the core area of the TMS . With positive operating cashflow and the successful share placement , the Company continued to reduce debt and commenced a strategic yet disciplined leasing program to maintain control of the TMS Core area .
