Item 1.02      Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously reported, on December 30, 2011, CAMAC Energy Inc. (“CAMAC Energy” or the “Company”) entered into a Deed of Warranty and Implementation Agreement (the “Agreement”) with  certain major shareholders (the “Principal Shareholders”) of Avana Petroleum Limited, a private Isle of Man company (“Avana”), relating to the purchase of one hundred percent of the issued share capital of Avana for a total purchase price of up to US$15 million, payable in shares of the Company’s common stock.  On January 30, 2012, the Company formally notified the Principal Shareholders of its intention not to proceed with the Agreement due to the fact that certain obligations and conditions to completion were not fulfilled by the required deadlines.  The Company does not believe it will incur any material liability as a result of its withdrawal from the Agreement.
