KUALA LUMPUR, May 16 (Bernama) — PETRONAS Suriname E&P B.V. (PETRONAS Suriname E&P), a subsidiary of PETRONAS, has made a third hydrocarbon discovery in Block 52 at the Fusaea-1 exploration well in Suriname’s Block 52, located about 170 kilometres offshore and 9 kilometers east from Roystonea-1
The well was spudded in Feb 2024 and successfully drilled to a total depth of 5,227 metres with zero (0) LTI, encountering several oil and gas-bearing Campanian sandstone reservoir packages. Further evaluation is being undertaken to determine the full extent of this discovery and its potential for an integrated development with the recent Roystonea-1 and Sloanea-1 discoveries.
