The Guyana–Suriname Basin is transitioning from exploration to management of production and fiscal recovery as it matures. Stabroek remains dominant, while GranMorgu, starting in 2028, will extend production. Suriname’s strategy should focus on managing depletion and optimising revenue, ensuring sustained sovereign value beyond initial developments.

The GLIAG paper discusses the transition of the Guyana–Suriname Basin from discovery to development, identifying a second class of petroleum assets that supermajors may overlook. It emphasises the importance of operatorship, infrastructure, and fiscal frameworks in determining project commerciality, advocating for strategic preparation to create conditions that enable mid-tier operatorship and asset consolidation.

This essay explores the unspoken barriers between geologists in Guyana and Suriname, highlighting how mass psychology, social identity, and territorial anxieties contribute to professional silence across borders. Despite a shared geological landscape and historical connections, these communities remain largely insulated from collaboration due to unwritten societal norms that discourage cross-border engagement.

The Colombian Caribbean has developed into a significant deepwater gas province, marked by multiple discoveries from 2022 to 2026, including the Uchuva and Sandia wells. The region’s gas reserves may increase by 200%, challenging conventional estimates. Future success hinges on effective permitting and infrastructure development, with potential exports reshaping regional dynamics.

The GLIAG essay by Marcel Chin-A-Lien discusses Suriname’s critical raw materials (CRMs) and strategic mineral potential. It identifies three key areas: onshore mineral wealth, offshore resources, and deep-sea prospects. The paper advocates for prioritising onshore development and establishing a national CRM inventory while cautioning against premature deep-sea mining before regulatory frameworks are solidified.

The Guyana–Suriname Basin requires a comprehensive analysis that integrates oil, gas, and pore volume due to its complex geology. Recent well data reveals diverse fluid provinces influenced by four source kitchens and varying migration regimes. Understanding this interconnected system enhances resource estimation and prospect evaluation significantly, moving beyond traditional, isolated assessments.

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.

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…
