據今日石油2020年9月21日報道，挪威著名能源研究和商業情報公司雷斯塔能源公司（Rystad energy）說，到目前為止，在蘇里南海上獲得的3個新石油發現估計蘊藏著將近14億桶油當量的油氣資源。

Maka Central-1井和Sapakara West-1是最早獲得的兩個石油發現，據報道，經過進一步評估，這兩個石油發現具有加速開發首批石油的潛力。運營商美國阿帕奇公司報告稱，在Kwaskwsi -1井獲得的第3個石油發現是迄今為止所鉆的最好的發現井。

雷斯塔能源公司上游研究副總裁Sonya Boodoo說，在第58號區塊中獲得的3個石油發現估計擁有14億桶油當量的油氣資源。這些都是雷斯塔能源公司基于每次發現的凈遠景區做出的估算。

她說，雷斯塔能源公司估計Kwaskwasi發現的可采油當量資源為7.28億桶。“我們認為，Maka Central發現大約有4億桶油當量資源，而Sapakara West發現大約有2.5億桶油當量資源。”

Boodoo表示，目前蘇里南兩個陸上油田的日產量約為1.6萬至2萬桶。“如果這3個最新石油發現被開發，它將導致蘇里南石油產量的顯著增加。如果按照我們認為的方式開發，我們可以看到這些油田的最高平均日產量為45萬桶左右。”

阿帕奇公司日前表示，Noble Sam Croft號鉆井船已經在Keskesi East-1探井開始鉆井作業，該探井位于Sapakara West-1井東南大約14公里處海域。

第58號區塊位于圭亞那和蘇里南接壤的邊界上，這表明它可能與埃克森美孚公司在圭亞那發現的儲量相似。

阿帕奇公司持有第58號區塊50%的開采權益，并將繼續擔任Keskesi井的作業者。道達爾公司持有剩余的50%的開采權益。

Suriname oil discoveries estimated at 1.4 billion barrels – Rystad Energy

Norway-based independent energy research and business intelligence company, Rystad Energy, says the three discoveries made offshore Suriname to date are estimated to contain combined oil equivalent resources of almost 1.4 billion barrels.

Maka Central-1 and Sapakara West-1 were the first two discoveries and are reportedly significant with the potential for accelerated first oil subjected to further evaluation. Operator Apache has reported that the third discovery at Kwaskwasi-1 was the best well drilled to date.

“The three discoveries made in Block 58 have estimated about 1.4 billion barrels of oil equivalent resources. These are Rystad Energy’s estimates based on the net pay in each discovery,” said Sonya Boodoo, Vice President of Upstream Research at Rystad Energy.

She said Rystad Energy estimates the Kwaskwasi discovery at 728 million barrels of recoverable oil equivalent resources. “We think that Maka Central has around 400 million barrels of oil equivalent and we think Sapakara West has around 250.”

Boodoo said current production in Suriname from two onshore fields stands at around 16,000 to 20,000 barrels of oil per day. “If the three recent discoveries are developed this will result in a significant increase in production. If it is developed in the way we think it would, we can see production from them averaging around 450,000 barrels per day at the peak.”

Apache Corporation said last week the Noble Sam Croft drill ship has commenced operations at the Keskesi East-1 exploration well, approximately 14 kilometers (9 miles) southeast of Sapakara West-1. The Keskesi well will test upper Cretaceous targets in the Campanian and Santonian.

Block 58 lies along the Guyana/Suriname border, suggesting it may share similar reservoir qualities as the vast resource footprint ExxonMobil has uncovered in Guyana.

Apache holds a 50% working interest in Block 58 and will continue to be the operator through the completion of the Keskesi well. Total S.A. holds the remaining 50% working interest.
