Suriname’s Oil Industry Poised for Significant Growth

Suriname’s Oil Industry Poised for Significant Growth
SHARE

The Guyana-Suriname Basin has emerged as a hotspot for drilling activities following ExxonMobil’s successful discoveries in Guyana’s offshore Stabroek Block. While Guyana has reaped the benefits of its oil discoveries, neighboring Suriname has yet to fully capitalize on its hydrocarbon potential. President Chan Santokhi’s administration is hopeful that an oil boom similar to Guyana’s will kickstart in 2025 with the development of Block 58, aiming to rescue Suriname from its economic crisis.

Suriname’s financial woes reached a critical point in 2023, leading to the IMF imposing austerity measures on the country. The government had to devalue its currency and restructure its debt to secure much-needed loans. The economic crisis was exacerbated by years of mismanagement and corruption under President Dési Bouterse, who was linked to criminal activities.

To alleviate its economic woes, Suriname is pinning its hopes on the development of Block 58. TotalEnergies and APA Corporation recently announced a $10.5 billion final investment decision for the GranMorgu project in the block’s southern zone. Staatsolie, Suriname’s national oil company, will participate in the project, investing $2.4 billion to receive a 20% interest.

Block 58 has shown significant petroleum potential, with several major discoveries since 2020. Suriname’s oil boom is not limited to Block 58, as other discoveries in blocks like Block 52 and Block 53 indicate a promising future for the country’s oil production. Companies like Petronas and APA Corporation have made significant discoveries in these blocks, with resources exceeding 500 million barrels of oil equivalent.

Despite the challenges and delays in developing these blocks, Suriname’s oil industry is poised for significant growth in the coming years. The first oil from the GranMorgu project is expected in 2028, with the country’s hydrocarbon output projected to increase over the next decade. While Suriname may not reach its ambitious target of one million barrels per day by 2030, lifting 650,000 barrels daily by 2032 would still provide a much-needed economic boost.
