Context & Environment

The activity takes place in the context of the execution phase of a major project in Suriname. The Suriname Project is a multidisciplinary team that coordinates the project managed by the client on the Deep and Shallow Water discoveries of offshore Suriname Block 58. The technical challenges the Project will face are the reservoir development and management, FPSO, and subsea production/injection system. The Suriname Team will develop the Project with the objectives of maximizing economic results by optimizing the reserves, and the schedule, reducing the costs and the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission, while maintaining the technical quality of the installations, with high H3SE requirements and focus.
