Located in TP/8 east of Varanus Island the well is one of few failures in a program that resulted in the early development of the Hoover and North Pedirka oil fields.
The Karangi-1 well will now be plugged and abandoned upon completing the usual logging program.
The Hoover-2 development well started producing on 7 September and is producing around 3,000bopd, while the North Pedirka-1 well came online on 14 September 2003 around 2,700bopd.
With the completion of these latest production wells, liquids production for the JV is expected to be close to 28,000bopd.
