Marcel Chin-A-Lien’s analysis of Guyana’s Gas-to-Shore initiative highlights its subsurface-driven nature, focusing on geological and engineering factors influencing gas supply. It emphasises that gas availability is tied to oil production dynamics and pressure management rather than merely existing gas volumes. The research aims for a comprehensive understanding of petroleum systems.

Marcel Chin-A-Lien’s analysis evaluates Guyana’s Gas-to-Shore (GtS) model as a means to prioritise domestic gas consumption in an oil-rich context. It examines two scenarios: Wales, targeting power generation, and Berbice, focusing on industrial demand, while highlighting production constraints and the need for transparent audits from public sources.

Suriname Offshore Well Names: From Seafloor to Kitchen
Suriname’s innovative offshore naming system integrates local fauna and cuisine into its petroleum narrative, enhancing national identity. By naming wells after species like Maka and Krabdagu, Suriname connects geological resources to cultural heritage, fostering public ownership and branding while contrasting with Guyana’s marine-focused approach.

This report outlines a multi-pulse petroleum charge model for the Golden Lane in the Guyana–Suriname Basin, anchored to the Maka-1 well in Block 58. It explains that effective hydrocarbon charging results from a combination of geological conditions and multiple generation pulses, leading to the repeated success in this exploration area.

The paper by Marcel Chin-A-Lien explores a multi-phase charge, migration, and alteration model for the Golden Lane Petroleum System in Suriname. It identifies distinct charge pulses from stacked Albian–Cenomanian–Turonian source rocks, accounting for coexisting oil and gas outcomes, and discusses implications for exploration and production strategies in the region.

Estimating Petroleum Generation in the Guyana-Suriname Basin
Marcel Chin-A-Lien’s article evaluates the Albian–Cenomanian–Turonian marine source rock system, highlighting its significance in generating petroleum in the Guyana–Suriname basin. Through mass-balance estimates and back-calculations from existing reserves, it suggests that the system has generated between ~170 to ~430 billion barrels of oil, positioning it as a globally significant petroleum generator.
