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.

Petroleum System Efficiency: Myths and Realities in Exploration
Marcel Chin-A-Lien’s article explores the paradox of low trapping efficiencies in global deepwater petroleum systems, illustrating that such efficiencies do not signify geological weakness. By analysing various basins, including the Guyana–Suriname region, the article suggests substantial undiscovered resources, highlighting that large, effective systems can thrive with low accumulation rates.

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…

The Lower Cretaceous Seas, situated in what is now Guyana and Suriname, hosted a vibrant marine ecosystem 145 million years ago, featuring diverse predators like ichthyosaurs and unique fish, such as pycnodonts and hybodont sharks. These ancient environments fostered remarkable evolutionary developments and currently serve as significant hydrocarbon reservoirs for modern energy exploration.
