TotalEnergies targets production of 220,000 barrels/day in Suriname

Friday, September 27 2024

Fossil Energy – Suriname

TotalEnergies launches the development of the Gran Morgu field offshore Suriname.

An FPSO will be installed, with discussions underway to integrate Petrobras into the project.

TotalEnergies initiates the development of the Gran Morgu oil field, located offshore Suriname, with a production target of 220,000 barrels per day (b/d).

This project is part of the company’s strategy to strengthen its presence in the South American region and develop new hydrocarbon reserves. The choice of this area is strategic, given the untapped potential of Suriname’s Atlantic coast.

The Gran Morgu field will be equipped with a floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) unit, a technology commonly used in offshore operations, enabling oil to be processed and stored directly at the extraction site.

This technological choice provides the operational flexibility that is essential for fields that are far from onshore infrastructures.

As part of this project, TotalEnergies is exploring the possibility of collaborating with Petrobras, the Brazilian oil company.

This possible cooperation stems from recent discussions between the two companies, aimed at pooling their skills to maximize the project’s profitability.
