Suriname’s offshore sector is entering a crucial two-year execution phase (2026-2027), focusing on tangible developments rather than speculative claims. Key projects include GranMorgu, aimed at first oil by 2028, and Sloanea Gas, moving towards FLNG development. Accurate insights will hinge on engineering milestones and disciplined capital allocation.

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.
