The essay examines the significance of the West Tapir-1 well in Suriname’s offshore exploration history, highlighting its role as a calibration point rather than a definitive failure. It advocates for a shift in exploration focus towards understanding a four-dimensional petroleum system, emphasising the evaluation of source, migration, reservoir, and preservation factors in the South-East Golden…

This paper by Drs. M.P.T. Chin-A-Lien proposes that mass-transport events along the Suriname slope induce both immediate pressure and delayed thermal responses in the deep source-rock systems. The concept suggests a complex interplay of geological forces influencing hydrocarbon generation and migration towards the Tambaredjo high, warranting further exploration.

This article examines the generation and migration of hydrocarbons from the Suriname kitchen to the Tambaredjo heavy-oil complex, revealing that significant oil generation occurred post-35 million years ago. The study utilises various analytical models to trace oil migration paths and assess the potential of a second accumulation, Tambaredjo-II.
