Suriname faces challenges in protecting its petroleum tax base while honouring existing contractor rights under Article 4 of State Decree 2018 No. 52. The assessment suggests that a dual-track approach, combining immediate statutory reforms for new contracts and a thorough review of existing agreements, is essential to balance revenue protection and investment incentives effectively.

Evaluating the Commercial Potential of Orinduik’s Oil Discoveries
The Orinduik Block represents a commercially unresolved petroleum system, highlighted by successful discoveries at Jethro-1 and Joe-1 that revealed high-quality reservoirs but heavy, sour crude. The potential for deeper exploration in the Cretaceous section remains untested. GLIAG’s analysis proposes valuing the block based on its exploration options, not as a confirmed resource asset.

The Orinduik Block is identified as a geologically proven but commercially unresolved petroleum system. It has two oil discoveries, Jethro and Joe, which face economic challenges due to heavy, sour crude quality. Future value hinges on exploration of untested deeper Cretaceous prospects and appraisal of existing discoveries to ascertain their commercial viability.
