The campaign offshore Suriname will comprise two firm wells, and two optional wells, Stena said in a social media update.

Stena DrillMAX is a sixth-generation harsh environment dual-activity dynamically positioned (DP3) drillship, capable of drilling in water depths up to 10,000 ft.

Earlier in 2025, the drillship has been hired by TotalEnergies to perform managed pressure drilling of one exploration well in Suriname, starting in the second quarter of 2025.
