In the deep blue of the Atlantic, the black veins surging in the cracks of the earth's crust are quietly rewriting the energy map of the northern end of South America. When a precision drill bit pierces the silence of a kilometer of seabed, it is not only the extraction of hydrocarbons, but also a redefinition of industrial limits in extreme environments through digital technology and global collaboration models.

Winning major oilfield cooperation orders

Halliburton, a well-known oilfield service company in the United States, has been officially hired to participate in the development of the large-scale deepwater oil project in Block 58 off the coast of Suriname. The core block is fully operated by Total Energy of France. Halliburton has successfully won the core contract for the comprehensive oil well construction of the Suriname offshore Granmorgu deepwater development project, responsible for the full set of drilling and completion services for the long-term project, with a significant scale of cooperation.

Digital technology empowers oilfield development

Halliburton will adopt an integrated digital intelligent operation mode, integrating the entire process of project planning, engineering design, and on-site operation, effectively improving project operation efficiency, accumulating industry practical experience, and comprehensively reducing the overall cost of oil well construction. Enterprises rely on digital workflow, real-time data monitoring, and remote control technology to carry out drilling and completion operations, accurately locate well locations, ensure construction quality, and connect surface and underground operation links. While improving crude oil recovery, it also compresses the comprehensive cost of Total Energy's projects.

Franco Delano, Vice President of Halliburton Caribbean, stated that this collaboration fully confirms the core values of integrated operations, collaborative cooperation, and digital technology in complex deepwater oil and gas development projects. The Granmorgu project also vividly demonstrates efficient team collaboration and advanced well construction technology, which can ensure the safe and efficient implementation of the project and maximize the commercial value of oil and gas assets.

Drive local development and establish benchmarks

This large-scale oil and gas project has comprehensively driven the development of Suriname's local industries through large-scale infrastructure investment and linkage with local suppliers. Halliburton has partnered with local cooperative enterprises to complete the upgrade and renovation of liquid mud and cement plants, while also assisting in the construction of the first modern drilling and completion workshop equipped with high-end maintenance capabilities in the local area. The enterprise will continue to attract local talents and connect with the local supply chain, helping Suriname's economy grow steadily.

The Granmorgu project effectively promotes the expansion and upgrading of Suriname's offshore energy industry, relying on the global tripartite cooperation model of Halliburton, Total Energy, and Noble Energy to create a benchmark for industry cooperation. The project is officially approved for development based on the preliminary engineering design and research results of the two main oil fields in Block 58. The two oil fields are located 150 kilometers off the coast of Suriname, with a water depth of 100 to 1000 meters and a recoverable crude oil reserve of over 750 million barrels.

The floating production storage and unloading oil tanker supporting the project has a daily crude oil processing capacity of up to 220000 barrels. The initial estimated total investment for this project is 10.5 billion US dollars, with plans to achieve its first oil production in 2028. The latest estimated total investment has been raised to 12.2 billion US dollars. At the same time, the project's supporting vessels reserve space for pipeline reconnection and renovation, which can effectively extend the overall production cycle of the oilfield.Editor/Gong Ziwei
