Staatsolie Maatschappij Suriname <\/strong>signed a production sharing contract with PETRONAS Suriname<\/strong> and Paradise Oil Company NV<\/strong>(POC<\/em>) to develop Block 66<\/strong>, located in deep water off the west coast of the country.<\/p>\n\n

The development of Block 66 in Suriname<\/h2>\n\n

With an area of 3,390 km\u00b2 and depths reaching 2,200 meters, Block 66<\/em> is a strategic area in the Suriname-Guyana Basin<\/strong>. This block borders with other assets where important discoveries have been identified, such as Blocks 52<\/em>, 53 <\/em>and 58.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n

The signing of this agreement grants PETRONAS<\/a><\/strong> an operating interest of 80%, while Staatsolie<\/strong>, through its subsidiary POC<\/strong>, holds the remaining 20%. This distribution consolidates the Malaysian state-owned company as the main operator of the block. <\/p>\n\n

During the first exploration phase, the oil company committed to drill at least two wells<\/strong> in zones identified as important within the block. This step is part of a clear strategy to evaluate the hydrocarbon potential <\/strong>in the region with advanced technology and under the required environmental standards. <\/p>\n\n

The signing ceremony was attended by Annand Jagesar, Zamri Baseri and Rekha Bissumbhar, in addition to the presence of PETRONAS Upstream International Assets Vice President Mohd Redhani Abdul Rahman.<\/p>\n\n

This agreement fits into Staatsolie’s vision<\/strong> to take advantage of the regional exploration boom through partnerships with companies with global experience. With this new contract, about 50% of Suriname’s offshore area is under active exploration and production agreements. <\/p>\n\n

PETRONAS currently operates in Blocks 48, 52, 53, 63, 64 and 66, and has recorded four hydrocarbon discoveries<\/strong> in Surinamese waters. The main achievements in Block 52 are in the evaluation phase. <\/p>\n\n
