No significant hydrocarbons were detected in the target reservoir features within the well, AWE said.
Wireline logs were acquired after reaching a total measured depth of 3835 metres.
Kahu-1, located approximately 3 kms east of the producing Tui oil field, tested a large incised valley feature within the Kapuni Group sands.
At the conclusion of operations at Kahu, the Kan Tan IV drilling rig will be relocated to PMP 38524 to drill the Tuatara-1 exploration well.
