Our client a multi-national E&P company was looking to enter Suriname through the acquisition of interests in offshore exploration blocks
The company was looking for an integrated subsurface study at the basin scale to identify high graded blocks and consequently the best farm-in exploration opportunities
Westwood’s Approach & Analysis
Project was based on a data pack provided by the government of Suriname.
Basin evolution, regional mapping using gravity, magnetic and seismic data and key wells, source rock distribution and plays definition
Play fairway analysis and identification of technical success factors and play risks
Thermal history modelling to understand charge and petroleum systems
Common Risks Segment Mapping, identification of prospective areas (‘sweet spots’, traffic light mapping)
Risked leads inventory and volumetric estimates
Prepared integrated project report and held review workshops with our client
The Outcome & Benefit
Westwood delivered a comprehensive technical study, within the agreed budget and time frame
Provided offshore Suriname ‘sweet spots’ (high-graded blocks), risked prospects and volumetric estimates to the client
Our client then asked Westwood to undertake a further similar study on the conjugate margin in West Africa
