Suriname's state-owned oil company and market regulator Staatsolie has received the first offer for onshore acreage as part of the country’s latest open-door policy to attract new investments to the hydrocarbons sector.
Staatsolie did not disclose the name of the company that bid for the Weg naar Zee block, but instead said other players were made aware the offer was presented and will have the opportunity to submit an application for the same acreage within the next 90 days.
