This paper introduces a three-dimensional model of the Upper Cretaceous interval offshore Suriname, revealing systematic thickness variations from shelf to deepwater basin, reaching 6–6.5 km in the northwestern depocenter. The study highlights the influence of rift inheritance, sag-phase thermal subsidence, and sediment routing on accommodation distribution and burial history.

The Coniacian–Santonian interval is crucial for hydrocarbon development in the Guyana–Suriname Basin, establishing reservoir and carrier-bed systems linked to maturation of underlying Cenomanian–Turonian source rocks. This phase, characterised by sediment routing and deepwater fairways, is essential for understanding petroleum accumulations and exploration strategies in the region.

The article contrasts Suriname’s dense, untouched rainforests with Europe’s modified landscapes, highlighting their differing ecological roles. Suriname’s forests, covering 93% of its land, exhibit remarkable biodiversity and carbon absorption efficiency. In contrast, Europe’s forests, while extensive, largely reflect centuries of human management. Both regions illustrate crucial insights into forest preservation and restoration efforts for combating…

The Guyana–Suriname Basin is a coherent thermodynamic petroleum system shaped by maturity, pressure, and fluid variation rather than isolated geological successes. This unified framework reveals systematic thermal maturity and pressure gradients, impacting discoveries and commercial thresholds, which are influenced by factors such as reservoir characteristics and infrastructure.

The recent discovery of hydrocarbons in Block 52’s Fusaea-1 exploration well confirms the Golden Lane concept in Suriname’s offshore region. The presented image of two hydrocarbon samples indicates a light oil presence, supporting hypotheses of Upper Cretaceous reservoirs fed by mature source rocks. This marks a significant milestone in Suriname’s oil development.

The document discusses the strategic transformation of Suriname’s gas resources, focusing on the Sloanea discovery. Key monetisation options include Full FLNG Export, Gas-to-Shore with domestic entitlements, and a hybrid model with Guyana. The analysis highlights long-term benefits of Gas-to-Shore for energy security, industrial growth, and regional integration, emphasising the need for cohesive planning and execution.

The Sloanea gas discovery in Suriname is poised to significantly impact its offshore energy landscape, offering 1–2 TCF of recoverable resources. Various monetisation pathways include FLNG exports and Gas-to-Shore integration, with potential public revenues of up to US$6 billion. The project also promises improved energy sovereignty, environmental benefits, and regional development opportunities.

Critical Minerals from Guiana Shield’s Mantle Processes
Marcel Chin-A-Lien’s paper presents a unified model of mantle melting, linking volatile-rich upwellings beneath the Guiana Shield to diverse magmatic processes and mineral systems. The study highlights how depth of melt extraction and lithospheric thickness dictate magma diversity, revealing potential for critical minerals essential for energy transition in Suriname and Guyana.

This study interprets the Basement–Base Jurassic depth structure offshore Suriname, using the GeoAtlas of Suriname. It reveals crucial tectonic features that influence sediment accommodation and hydrocarbon maturation. Understanding this geological foundation aids in assessing exploration risks, refining models, and enhancing the knowledge of the petroleum system’s evolution in the region.
