Artur Nunes da Silva, General Manager of <a href=\"https:\/\/totalenergies.com\/totalenergies-suriname\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TotalEnergies<\/a> Suriname, made this statement on the second day of the Suriname Energy, Oil and Gas Summit, according to OilNOW.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>According to the current schedule, <span class=\"dropcap \" style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; border-color: #ffffff;\">the<\/span>project\u2014which is being carried out by TotalEnergies in collaboration with partners APA Corporation and Staatsolie\u2014is expected to have a production period of approximately 20 to 25 years. Nunes da Silva noted, however, that the project is designed to support production for several decades and may remain in operation longer than currently anticipated. <\/p>\n<p>According to the CEO, the production phase will not only generate revenue for Suriname but also ensure sustained economic activity after the construction phase is completed. \u201cIt\u2019s about the revenue\u2014I think that\u2019s clear to everyone\u2014but it\u2019s also about the ongoing activity that will be developed, the people who will have jobs, and the people who will be involved in this,\u201d said Nunes da Silva. <\/p>\n<p>He did not rule out the possibility that the project\u2019s lifespan could be extended at a later date. \u201cIn 30 years, maybe not\u2014I don\u2019t know\u2026 we might be able to get an extension and continue production for even more years,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m convinced there\u2019s potential for that.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p>The GranMorgu development is based on the Krabdagu and Sapakara oil discoveries in <a href=\"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/overleg-vwa-en-totalenergies-focus-op-banen-arbeidsmarkt-en-samenwerking-rond-blok-58\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Block 58<\/a>. The project includes 32 wells and a production vessel. According to Nunes da Silva, drilling operations will continue even after initial oil production begins in order to maintain production levels.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we reach first oil, we\u2019re actually only at 80 percent of the project\u2019s progress, because we\u2019ll continue drilling after first oil,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to the TotalEnergies CEO, GranMorgu\u2019s greatest impact on Suriname will be felt primarily during the long production phase. This phase is expected to generate revenue, create jobs, and sustain economic activity. He said the partners intend to continue working together to maximize the value of the project.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TotalEnergies reports that the GranMorgu project in Suriname may be able to produce for longer than the planned 20\u201325 years, yielding long-term economic benefits and job opportunities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":177015,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_override_counter":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[16333],"tags":[18599,18600,18601,18602],"class_list":["post-177012","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general","tag-block-58","tag-granmorgu-project","tag-suriname-energy-oil-and-gas-summit","tag-totalenergies-suriname"],"pp_statuses_selecting_workflow":false,"pp_workflow_action":"current","pp_status_selection":"publish","pp_force_visibility":null,"pp_subpost_visibility":null,"pp_inherited_force_visibility":null,"pp_inherited_subpost_visibility":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177012","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=177012"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177012\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/177015"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=177012"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=177012"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=177012"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
