History

Hibiscus Petroleum Berhad was listed on the Main Market of Bursa Securities under Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) listing rules on 25 July 2011. On 18 April 2012, it completed a Qualifying Acquisition involving a 35% equity interest in Lime Petroleum Plc, whose assets included concessions in the Middle East.

On 8 January 2013, its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary Carnarvon Hibiscus Pty Ltd became the operator and 50.1% owner of the VIC/P57 permit area in the Bass Strait, Australia, and a 13.04% shareholder of 3D Oil Limited (presently known as 3D Energi Limited). On 5 December 2013, the National Offshore Petroleum Titles Administrator of Australia awarded the VIC/P57 joint venture a Production Licence VIC/L31 over the West Seahorse oilfield in the offshore Gippsland Basin, Victoria, Australia. On 3 February 2014, Masirah Oil Ltd, a subsidiary of Lime Petroleum, discovered light oil in GA-South #1, the first offshore oil discovery in the east of Oman after more than 30 years of exploration activities. On 11 November 2015, Carnarvon Hibiscus completed drilling of the Sea Lion-1 exploration well in Australia.
