Tethys' chairman David Robson said today Hammond had contributed greatly to the development of the firm's business.
"This is an exciting year for Tethys and I am sure that Julian will use his new responsibilities and authority to further progress the activities of the company in its projects in Central Asia."

In December 2011 it unveiled initial results of its Persea 1 exploration well in Tajikstan, and said its plans to carry out production testing on the well in the New Year.
The Persea 1 well, drilled some five kilometres from the town of Kurgan Teppa, reached a total depth of 2,655 metres.
Wireline logs showed a 50 metre gross zone of possible hydrocarbons, which occur in crude oil, within a mixed sandstone and carbonate sequence assigned to the Alai formation. This is a similar to the formation about to be tested in the East Olimtoi well.
