The survey vessel MV Fugro Brasilis is conducting geophysical data collection, heat flow measurements, core sampling and onboard geochemical analyses, which aim to optimize future exploration activities in this frontier area. The fieldwork will run through Q1 2021 with subsequent geochemical analyses and final reports delivered in May 2021.
Brian Hottman, Fugro’s director for Caribbean and Pacific South America, said:
‘The Suriname-Guyana Basin is shaping up to be a world-class petroleum system, and Petronas 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.’
