This essay highlights the concept of “stranded energy” where petroleum resources fail to generate economic value due to institutional failures rather than geological issues. Using case studies from Yemen, Mozambique, Nigeria, and Qatar, it argues that synchronisation among finance, infrastructure, and institutions is crucial for converting hydrocarbon wealth into national prosperity, particularly in Suriname’s emerging…
