Petronas Has Drilled Eight Successful Wells in Suriname

Petronas, through its subsidiary Petronas Suriname E&P B.V. (PSEPBV), has achieved a total of eight successful wells in Suriname. These wells have collectively unlocked recoverable resources exceeding one billion barrels of oil equivalent. The most recent successes include two discoveries and one appraisal in offshore Block 52.
Recent Discoveries and Appraisal in Block 52

The Caiman-1 exploration well, situated in 90 metres of water, encountered multiple oil-bearing Cretaceous sandstone intervals. Additionally, the Swartzia Aspasia Complex-1 (SAC-1) exploration well, located 8 km east of the Sloanea-1 gas discovery, intersected gas-bearing sandstone reservoirs. Drill stem testing on SAC-1 demonstrated strong gas deliverability, indicating good reservoir quality.
Validation of Reservoir Extent and Productivity

The Roystonea-2 appraisal well, drilled 7 km north of Roystonea-1, confirmed the lateral extent of oil-bearing reservoirs. Results from drill stem testing indicated strong oil productivity, further validating the quality and extent of the reservoir system within Block 52.
Significant Resource Unlocking and Future Potential

These eight successful wells have collectively yielded recoverable resources of more than one billion barrels of oil equivalent. This achievement underscores Petronas' technical capabilities and its strong partnership in Suriname, positioning the country as a potentially significant deepwater hub in the Suriname-Guyana basin. The successes also build on the commerciality declared for the Sloanea gas field, with a final investment decision anticipated by the end of the year.
