Area of Overlapping Border Claims Guyana claims a border of N33E Suriname claims a border of N10E Inability to resolve differences has frozen exploration in the basin
Bilateral Negotiations not Progressing Impediments to a Bilateral Solution “strength of feeling by the respective populations the firm and apparently intractable positions adopted by both sides the history of past efforts” “Easier for the people of both countries to accept settlement terms, which are arrived at by processes and procedures, regarded as independent and/or which employ a judicial approach” (Rashleigh Jackson)
A Logical Resolution For maritime space For land boundary both countries are signatories to and have ratified the UN Law of the Sea Convention Where complications such as islands do not exist, this process can be fairly expedient For land boundary the OAS has a mechanism for helping member states to solve border problems

Technical Risk– Exploring for Turbidite Giants Source rock / timing – 95% Seal – 75% Reservoir – 50% Structure – 75% Oil vs gas – 75% Overall Probability of Success – 20%
Source Rock & Timing – 95% Canje Formation 2-6% TOC > 300 metres thick mature – 95% in oil window oil in Tambaredjo typed to Canje Source equivalent age to La Luna source rock in Venezuela
Seal – 75% Abary #1 6000’ shale seal 23‘ turbidite sand mud kick at 2000 bpd 34.5o API oil in mud Shell drilled in 1974 Eagle and Wishbone seismic tied to Abary turbidite sand thickness greater than 600 feet This slide shows the grid of data over the eagle and wishbone features that we are currently processing.
Reservoir – 50% main risk is sand quality over 5000’ onshelf sand in Horseshoe #1; Oligocene turbidite fans: Eagle and Wishbone; Turonian source rock: mature Canje formation over 300’ thick Miocene seal: over 6000’ of shale in Abary #1
Structure – 75% Top of fan at Eagle and Wishbone marked by coincident amplitude and AVO anomalies; Flat spot is interpreted as oil-water contact; Draping in Miocene shales is observable Eagle anomaly is about 13 km in width and Wishbone about 7 km; Eagle defined on 8 other strike lines at 2 km intervals. Eagle Wishbone
Oil vs Gas – 75% Abary #1 tested oil buoyancy considerations over 1700 feet of structure Amplitude and AVO anomalies terminate simultaneously at interpreted oil-water contact and at updip pinchout on paleo-shelf; Eagle anomaly is over 15 km in length.
Turbidite Fan Targets – 20% Probability of Success Geological model equivalent to Campos Basin, Brazil Similar age to turbidite reservoirs in East Venezuela Basin and Trinidad “Giant” and “near-giant” size

Onshore Block
Onshore Block with Staatsolie Nickerie Geochemical survey 1 Km grid to isolate anomalies using Gore technology by Suriname Currently the second phase has been surveyed and the results are being reviewed. Indications are that the anomalies contact a lighter crude signature than Tambaredjo. Deeper Basin depths to the reservoir at Nickerie than at Paramaribo Would support rhis conclusion (less degardation of the crude) Did not survey near coast area eo additional anomalies may appear on the Nickerie block
Onshore Block Geochemical and Oil /Gas Shows Map shows the CGX onshore Block with the anomalies from the published Suriname features. Two wells on the block has indicated oil and gas shows the Rosehall and the Skelton . Propsed geocehmical survey could be done in October and November of 2003 for a cost of 100,000 to 300,000 dollars USD Tactics use 3 man crews with supervision by local and contractor. Set up headquarters at new amsterdam Samples must be dried and stored each day down load GPS readings Ship samples each week Equipment shovel and GPS with digital storage Purchase GPS Contractor supplies sample bags and containers Collect samples every 250 m along raodways and access Analyse every second sample initially Follow up with seismic and drilling Onshore Oil Fairway
Geochemical Surveys GMT, Gore Micro seepage vs Seepage Quantification and maturity of source Aeromag, gravity Phase 1 Capital 0.5 MM$ US explore using various structure Mapping of geochemical will show seepages and microseepage Microseepage is a result of the vertical migration of hydrocarbons associated With hydrocarbons trapped at depth with a water drive. It is less effective when associated with heavy oils. The success that statts olie has achieved mitigates that risk We will be searching for microbes tat live off the butane gas If successful we will follow up with Sorbed gas samples which we intend to collect at the same time Seeepages are associated with migrating hydrocarbons that breach to surface and are typically associated with tar sands and stressed vegetation. These have significant vlumes of ol and gas at surface and are found associated with many basins in the world
Seismic, then drilling Use geochemical and potential fields to define seismic targets and and follow up with drilling Reduce amount and costs for seismic and focus on drill targets to reduce cycle
