The US-headquartered oilfield services company has been hired on a mission to help develop a giant deepwater oil project in Block 58 off the coast of Suriname, operated by French energy giant TotalEnergies.

Halliburton has won what it describes as major integrated well construction contracts for TotalEnergies, which it operates Grand morgue Deepwater development offshore Suriname, covering drilling and completion services for a long-term programme.
The US company will deploy an integrated, digital and automated implementation model that unifies planning, engineering and operations to improve performance, accelerate learning and reduce total cost of ownership throughout well construction.
The company will implement integrated digital workflows, real-time data and remote operations control for drilling and completions to improve well placement accuracy and delivery assurance to connect surface operations with subsurface execution to enhance recovery while lowering TotalEnergies’ total cost of ownership.
Franco DelanoHalliburton’s Vice President, Caribbean, commented: “This award reflects the value of integrated implementation, collaboration and digital technology in complex deepwater developments.
“The GranMorgu project demonstrates how aligned teams and advanced well construction capabilities support safe and efficient delivery and maximize asset value for our customers.”
The project is seen as supporting local capacity development through major investment in infrastructure and collaboration with local suppliers. As part of the project scope, Halliburton worked with local suppliers to modernize its liquid slurry and cement plant.
In addition, the American company supported the construction of Suriname’s first state-of-the-art drilling and completion workshop, which features advanced maintenance and repair capabilities. The company will prioritize acquiring local talent and suppliers to support national economic growth.
The GranMorgu project also supports the expansion of the country’s offshore energy industry and sets a standard with the first global alliance between Halliburton, TotalEnergies and Noble.

These fields are located 150 kilometers off the coast of Suriname and Maintain recoverable reserves It is estimated at more than 750 million barrels in water depths ranging from 100 to 1000 metres.
A Floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel. The project’s production capacity will reach 220,000 barrels of oil per day. The operator initially estimated the project investment at about $10.5 billion, and the first oil production is scheduled to take place in 2028.
But the total investment value could reach $12.2 billion, according to more recent estimates. The FPSO GranMorgu is designed to accommodate future interconnection opportunities to expand the production plateau.
