When and where does TotalEnergies plan to start its new drilling campaign in Suriname, and what is the scope of the targeted area?

TotalEnergies plans to begin a multi-well drilling campaign in Suriname next year—subject to rig availability—with four new exploration wells to be drilled in Block 58, a 1.4 million-acre (5,665 km²) offshore area that also hosts the $10.5 billion Gran Morgu project, set to start oil output in 2028.

What are the potential development pathways for new oil discoveries in Block 58, according to Suriname's state energy company Staatsolie?

According to Staatsolie CEO Annand Jagesar, if a new reserve discovery in Block 58 is large enough, partners could develop a second field; otherwise, the find could be tied back into the existing Gran Morgu project, and Staatsolie is prepared to participate in any project offering a good return for Suriname, contingent on structuring its finances accordingly.
