KUALA LUMPUR (March 11): Petroliam Nasional Bhd's (Petronas) Suriname-based unit has tapped geodata specialist Fugro to conduct a seep survey and geochemical campaign.

In a statement yesterday, Fugro said it is conducting a seep served and geochemical camping in Block 48, which is located offshore Suriname for Petronas Suriname E&P BV (PSEPBV).  

Fugro said the work for PSEPBV is being conducted from survey vessel MV Fugro Brasilis, and involves geophysical data collection, heat flow measurements, core sampling and on-board geochemical analysis, which aim to optimise future exploration activities in this frontier area.

The fieldwork for the job will run through the first quarter of 2021 (1Q21), with subsequent geochemical analysis and final reports delivered in May 2021, noted the statement.

Fugro director for the Caribbean and Pacific South America Brian Hottman said the Suriname-Guyana basin is shaping up to be a world-class petroleum system.

“The Suriname-Guyana basin is shaping up to be a world-class petroleum system, and PSEPBV is poised to be a major player in this region as demonstrated by their successful results from the Sloanea-1 exploration well located in Block 52.

"We look forward to supporting their continued success in the region by defining high-potential areas within Block 48, and helping develop Suriname’s vital resources in a safe and responsible manner,” Hottman said.
