This Progress Paper by GLIAG analyses ExxonMobil’s TTUD-1 exploration offshore Trinidad, evaluating its potential as a gas or oil discovery. With a US$42.5 million initial commitment, the decision for further investment depends on drilling results expected in late 2027 or early 2028. Current probabilities favour a gas-dominant outcome.

The GLIAG Technical Note discusses whether the Golden Lane is the primary recipient of hydrocarbons generated in the Guyana–Suriname Basin. It concludes that the Golden Lane is both the main kitchen and receiver of hydrocarbons, with a geological setup that promotes efficient charge migration, despite perceptions suggesting otherwise in other mature areas.
