Petronas Carigali has plugged and abandoned new field wildcat Nuri 1 in block ND-4, situated in the ultra-deep water Northwest Sabah Platform, on or around 19 December 2019. Result have not been released. The well, spudded on 19 September 2019, was drilled using the Seadrill "West Capella" D/S and targeted the Lower Oligocene clastics. Nuri 1 is located approximately 40 km north of Tepat 1 gas discovery, drilled by Total in 2017.   Falkon 1 (2016) was the last well drilled in the block. The well, spudded on 15 September 2019, was drilled using the Noble "Noble Bully II" D/S and it likely tested the Upper Eocene to Oligocene clastics and Lower to Middle Miocene limestone sequence targets. The well was plugged and abandoned as a dry hole on 18 November 2016.  Farm-in opportunity still exist for the block. Block ND-4 is 100% held and operated by Petronas Carigali.  Background Information  The block is covered with extensive 2D and 3D seismic data, electromagnetic and CSEM acquired by previous and current operators of the block.   A 11,000 line km 2D seismic survey was acquired in 2008 followed by Controlled Source Electromagnetic (CSEM) survey between June 2010 and September 2010 using the EMGS "Boa Galatea" S/V. Two 3D seismic surveys were acquired in block ND-4 and ND-5. The first survey, approximately 6,000 sq km survey covers an area within both operated blocks, ND4 and ND-5 on the northern part was acquired between September 2014 and February 2015 with CGG "Alize" S/V. The 5,200 sq km survey was acquired by PGS "Ramform Sovereign" S/V between October 2016 and December 2016. The second survey was part of the Sabah Multi-Client 3D (Sabah MC 3D). The electromagnetic (EM) survey acquired between October and December 2015 using the EMGS "Boa Thalassa" S/V.  Two wells were drilled in the block between 2012 and 2016. Rajawali 1 (2012) did not reached its primary target, the Oligocene clastic at prognosed depth of 2,200 m due to severe mud loss while drilling through the Middle Miocene carbonate sequence. Falkon 1 (2016) was drilled approximately 30 km east of Rajawali 1. Both wells targeted the Upper Eocene to Oligocene clastics and Lower to Middle Miocene limestone sequence. The wells were plugged and abandoned as dry holes.   Block ND 4 and ND 5 was awarded to Petronas Carigali (100%) as the operator on 29 July 2005. Block ND 4 is approximately 10,500 sq km in size and located in water depth of 1,000 m to 3,000 m. The ultra deepwater areas of North West Sabah are likely to be predominantly gas provinces and include an undrilled synrift play, carbonate buildup equivalent to the Oligocene Nido carbonate play in the Philippines as well as the possible distal extensions of the Upper Miocene turbidite plays similar to Petronas's Hebat and Kental discoveries, located in Block 3K.
