Estimating Yet-to-Find Oil and Gas in Suriname, Blocks 58 and 52
The Surinamese continuation of the Golden Lane petroleum system, covering Blocks 58 and 52, indicates significant yet-to-find oil and gas volumes, estimated at 0.3-1.3 billion barrels of oil and 1-5 trillion cubic feet of gas. The area, part of a world-class hydrocarbon system shared with Guyana, remains underexplored.

The Guyana–Suriname Basin has rapidly become a significant petroleum province, with over 500 million barrels of crude oil produced since late 2019. Daily output is expected to reach 900,000 barrels by 2025, yet data on its molecular fingerprint remains largely inaccessible in the public domain. This lack of detailed geochemical datasets hinders a comprehensive understanding…
