據今日石油2021年5月19日報道，蘇里南國家石油公司即將離任的總經理魯道夫·伊萊亞斯說，蘇里南在第58號區塊內獲得的頭3個發現預計將生產大約14億桶油當量的油氣資源。

　　伊萊亞斯在寫給蘇里南國家石油公司的告別信中說，盡管發生了新冠肺炎疫情大流行，但2020年的重大新聞是美國阿帕奇公司和法國道達爾公司在蘇里南獲得了3個重要石油發現——1月份的Maka Central-1井、4月份的Sapakara West-1井和7月份的Kwaskwasi-1井。

　　伊萊亞斯說：“隨著時間的推移，僅這3個發現就有望生產大約14億桶油當量的油氣資源，這也證實了蘇里南是一個即將到來的主要油氣國。”IOC合作伙伴馬來西亞國家石油公司和埃克森美孚公司日前宣布在第52號區塊成功完鉆了Sloanea-1探井，進一步證實了這一發現。”

　　他提醒道，在新的一年里，道達爾公司和阿帕奇公司很快在1月份又在第58號區塊內的Keskesi East-1井獲得了新的發現。

　　分析師表示，道達爾公司和阿帕奇公司預計將在今年晚些時候做出旨在開發位于第58號區塊內油田的最終投資決定(FID)。事實上，道達爾公司最近證實，該公司計劃最早在2025年開始開發第58號區塊的油田，大約在Maka Central-1井發現5年后。如果成功，這將標志著圭亞那-蘇里南盆地自2019年12月美國石油巨頭埃克森美孚公司在圭亞那的麗莎油田首次發現石油以來，第二最快開發的油田，距離麗莎油田2015年首次發現不到5年。

　　美國跨國投資銀行和金融服務公司摩根士丹利表示，其對蘇里南第58號區塊所做的模型顯示，該區塊擁有潛在65億桶油當量的油氣儲量。

　　Suriname’s first 3 offshore discoveries expected to produce around 1.4 billion barrels of oil – Rudolf Elias

　　The Outgoing Managing Director of Suriname’s state oil company, Staatsolie Maatschappij Suriname N.V., says the country’s first 3 offshore discoveries at Block 58 are expected to produce around 1.4 billion barrels of oil equivalent resources over time.

　　Rudolf Elias, in a letter bidding farewell to the company, said despite the pandemic, the big news of 2020 was the 3 major oil finds made by Apache and Total – Maka Central-1 in January, Sapakara West-1 in April, and Kwaskwasi-1 in July.

　　“These discoveries alone are expected to produce about 1.4 billion barrels of oil equivalent resources over time, and they confirm Suriname as a major upcoming hydrocarbon province,” Elias said. “Further confirmation came in December, with IOC partners Petronas and ExxonMobil announcing another hydrocarbon discovery, with the successful drilling of the Sloanea-1 exploration well in Block 52.”

　　He reminded that the new year quickly brought another new discovery in January by Total and Apache in Block 58 at the Keskesi East-1 well.

　　Analysts say Total and Apache are expected to make their Final Investment Decision (FID) to develop oil fields at Block 58 later this year. In fact, Total recently confirmed that plans are underway to begin developing oil fields at Block 58 as early as 2025, around five years after the Maka Central-1 discovery. If successful, this would mark the second fastest development ramp up in the Guyana-Suriname basin since U.S. oil major ExxonMobil hit first oil at the Liza field in Guyana in December 2019, just under five years from its first discovery in 2015.

　　US multinational investment bank and financial services company Morgan Stanley says its modelling of Block 58 shows that it contains a potential 6.5 billion barrels of oil equivalent resources.
