Karoon Energy has hit a snag with its Brazilian operations. The company discovered an electrical fault in the SPS-92 well at its Baúna project and has shut down the well while planning a rig-based intervention to replace the faulty cabling. The hiccup will defer approximately 3,500 barrels of oil per day, prompting Karoon to revise its 2026 production guidance for Baúna down to 5.4 - 5.7 MMbbl from the previously guided 6.0 - 6.7 MMbbl. Total 2026 production is now expected to reach 6.6 - 7.2 MMboe. CEO Carri Lockhart remains focused on getting SPS-92 back online and maximizing output from other Baúna wells.
