The essay examines the significance of the West Tapir-1 well in Suriname’s offshore exploration history, highlighting its role as a calibration point rather than a definitive failure. It advocates for a shift in exploration focus towards understanding a four-dimensional petroleum system, emphasising the evaluation of source, migration, reservoir, and preservation factors in the South-East Golden…

This paper by Drs. M.P.T. Chin-A-Lien proposes that mass-transport events along the Suriname slope induce both immediate pressure and delayed thermal responses in the deep source-rock systems. The concept suggests a complex interplay of geological forces influencing hydrocarbon generation and migration towards the Tambaredjo high, warranting further exploration.

This article examines the generation and migration of hydrocarbons from the Suriname kitchen to the Tambaredjo heavy-oil complex, revealing that significant oil generation occurred post-35 million years ago. The study utilises various analytical models to trace oil migration paths and assess the potential of a second accumulation, Tambaredjo-II.

The essay explores Suriname’s Tambaredjo oil field, detailing geological assessments and the potential for additional reserves. It discusses the geological features that support oil accumulation, the significance of the Bakhuis promontory, and proposes exploratory corridors for further potential discoveries in the region, including an anticipated second accumulation, Tambaredjo-II.

The essay by Dr. M.P.T. Chin-A-Lien investigates Suriname’s geology via the Bouguer gravity field, revealing the area’s tripartite Precambrian basement structure. It explores the correlation of gravity anomalies with geological formations and discusses implications for petroleum resources, particularly regarding the coastal hinge where the Guiana Shield meets the Guyana–Suriname Basin.

This Progress Paper by GLIAG analyses ExxonMobil’s TTUD-1 exploration offshore Trinidad, evaluating its potential as a gas or oil discovery. With a US$42.5 million initial commitment, the decision for further investment depends on drilling results expected in late 2027 or early 2028. Current probabilities favour a gas-dominant outcome.

The GLIAG Technical Note discusses whether the Golden Lane is the primary recipient of hydrocarbons generated in the Guyana–Suriname Basin. It concludes that the Golden Lane is both the main kitchen and receiver of hydrocarbons, with a geological setup that promotes efficient charge migration, despite perceptions suggesting otherwise in other mature areas.
