The Guyana–Suriname Basin’s petroleum potential is significant, with over 300 billion barrels generated, yet only about 12 billion barrels recoverable. Efficient conversion from generated to recoverable resources is complex, influenced by geological and economic factors. Future exploration should focus on areas with unexplained petroleum balances for potential discoveries.
