The study evaluates the Aptian–Albian geological framework of the Guyana–Suriname Basin, concluding it comprises at least two distinct petroleum systems. Current evidence supports regional source and reservoir potential, yet the commercial viability of Albian carbonates remains unproven. Future exploration should focus on migration paths and regional structure to enhance discovery chances.
