A green light for oil and gas development in Suriname heralds the next spate of project logistics activity, writes Ian Putzger.

Presumably a few champagne corks popped on October 1 when TotalEnergies and APA Corporation announced their decision to go ahead with plans for oil and gas extraction off the coast of Suriname. The drilling in two areas, jointly labelled ‘Gran Morgu’, is expected to yield over 700 million barrels.

TotalEnergies aims to begin output from the USD10.5 billion project in the first half of 2028. The long-awaited decision sets off a surge in activity among project logistics specialists and other heavy lift service providers. UTC, Blue Water Shipping, UAL, BOCS, Jumbo, Intermarine, SAL Heavy Lift, Cargo Consolidators Agency and Mardom have all been readying themselves for the surge.

Ian Putzger 写道，苏里南石油和天然气开发获批预示着下一轮项目物流活动的到来。

10 月 1 日，道达尔能源公司和 APA 公司宣布决定继续推进苏里南沿海石油和天然气开采计划，想必大家开怀大笑。在两个被共同称为“Gran Morgu”的地区进行的钻探预计将产出超过 7 亿桶石油。

道达尔能源公司计划在 2028 年上半年开始产出这个价值 105 亿美元的项目。这一期待已久的决定引发了项目物流专家和其他重型起重服务提供商的活动激增。UTC、Blue Water Shipping、UAL、BOCS、Jumbo、Intermarine、SAL Heavy Lift、Cargo Consolidators Agency 和 Mardom 都已为这一激增做好了准备。
