The FTSE 250 oil and gas exploration and production group said the well was drilled to a total depth of 5,060 metres in 1,856 metres of water and will now be plugged and abandoned.
"Tullow and its partners will then assess the data gathered from the well and carefully consider next steps," it said.
Tullow is the operator of Block 47 with a 50% stake, while Petroandina Resources holds 30% and Ratio Suriname the remaining 20%.
