ATLANTA, GEORGIA (Chad Archey, Energy Analytics Institute, 5.May.2025, Words: 534) — France’s TotalEnergies looks to start drilling the Macaw-1 exploration well in Block 64, located offshore Suriname, by mid-May 2025. Macaw-1 will be the first of 5 offshore exploration wells slated to be drilled in 2025.
If successful, the exploration could potentially lead to new crude oil and natural gas plays in the prolific Suriname-Guyana basin over the long term, according to state-owned Staatsolie.
