Drill Stem Tests Confirmed Strong Gas Deliverability in Block 52

Drill stem testing (DST) conducted in Suriname’s offshore Block 52 has demonstrated strong gas deliverability, indicating a high quality of the reservoir. These tests are crucial in assessing the potential of discovered gas reserves for commercial production.

The appraisal of Block 52 by Petronas, through its subsidiary Petronas Suriname E&P B.V. (PSEPBV), has yielded significant results. The Swartzia Aspasia Complex-1 (SAC-1) exploration well, situated approximately 8 kilometres east of the Sloanea-1 gas discovery, encountered gas-bearing sandstone reservoirs. It was drilled to a total depth of 4,560 metres in a water depth of 610 metres. The positive outcomes from the drill stem tests at SAC-1 provide a clear indication of the reservoir's capacity to yield gas effectively.

These findings contribute to Petronas's cumulative achievements in Suriname, which now include eight successful wells and the unlocking of over one billion barrels of oil equivalent in recoverable resources. The successful appraisal of Block 52, in which Petronas holds an 80 per cent participating interest, further solidifies the region's potential as a deepwater hub within the Suriname-Guyana basin. The company also holds interests in seven other offshore blocks in Suriname.
