Exploring Colombia’s recent Gas Discoveries – Comparison with Bonaire Basin: Gas System Insights
The GLIAG report highlights Colombia’s significant deepwater gas discoveries, particularly at Sandía-1, which underscores a viable gas system in the southern Caribbean. While the Bonaire Basin is geologically distinct, it may host independent Tertiary hydrocarbon sources. Strategic exploration should prioritise basin margins for optimal resource accumulation and better reservoir prospects.

In January 2015, a symposium in Suriname marked a pivotal moment in the nation’s offshore petroleum journey, revealing compelling seismic data that suggested significant geological potential. By 2026, Suriname transformed these insights into reality with GranMorgu and Sloanea, raising critical questions about governance and sustainable development alongside newfound resources.

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…

Suriname is embarking on a significant energy transformation with the $10.5 billion GranMorgu oil project, aiming for 220,000 barrels per day by 2028. This shift towards a multi-resource energy nation necessitates careful institutional integration, fiscal discipline, and regulatory framework efforts, as well as strategic development through gas utilisation and refining to maximise domestic value capture.

The GLIAG essay challenges traditional petroleum migration models, suggesting these systems are more dynamic than previously thought. It posits that the Tambaredjo oil field may represent a preserved stage in a complex evolution of hydrocarbons through various geological processes, urging further investigation and reevaluation of exploration strategies within the Guyana–Suriname Basin.
