In an announcement on Dec 30, upstream hydrocarbons player RH Petrogas says that no oil was discovered at Karim-1 exploration well located in the Kepala Burung production sharing contract (PSC), Southwest Papua, Indonesia.

As no oil was discovered, RH will undertake permanent plug and abandonment of the well in line with regulatory requirements.

The oil and gas exploration company says that drilling reached a total depth of 4,293 feet (1,308 metres) measured depth, after spudding on Nov 21. RH added that during drilling, intermediate wireline logging data and gas chromatography indicated “trace to moderate” oil shows, “suggesting the presence” of a hydrocarbon system within the Khaili Limestone interval.
