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.
