PARAMARIBO, Suriname, Nov 14 (Bernama) — PETRONAS, through its wholly-owned subsidiary PETRONAS Suriname E&P B.V. (PSEPBV), together with Staatsolie Maatschappij Suriname N.V. (Staatsolie), has achieved a significant milestone with the Declaration of Commerciality (DoC) of Sloanea field in Block 52, marking Suriname’s first gas development milestone in its expanding deepwater energy landscape.
The DoC confirms the project’s readiness to progress from discovery towards development, subject to the final investment decision. It builds on the positive momentum from the Sloanea-1 exploration success in 2020 while underscoring both parties’ confidence in the hydrocarbon potential of Suriname’s offshore basin and the shared commitment to unlock Suriname’s deepwater potentials.
