苏里南国家石油公司（Staatsolie）与马来西亚国家石油公司（PETRONAS，负责9号区块）和雪佛龙公司（Chevron，负责10号区块）分别签署了苏里南近海9号和10号区块的油气生产分成合同（PSC）。马来西亚国家石油公司将与雪佛龙、卡塔尔能源公司和天堂石油公司共同担任作业者。

通过签署这些产品分成合同（PSC），各公司获得相应区块的勘探、开发和生产独家权利。勘探初期阶段将持续三年，重点在于采集和处理三维地震数据，以绘制地下构造图。

这些区块位于萨拉马卡海岸约50公里的浅水区。9号区块面积为2674平方公里，10号区块面积为2972平方公里。这些区域的水深可达50米。

Staatsolie signed Production Sharing Contracts (PSCs) for offshore Blocks 9 and 10 offshore Suriname with the operators PETRONAS (Block 9) and Chevron (Block 10). PETRONAS will serve as the operator alongside partners Chevron, QatarEnergy and Paradise Oil.

By signing these PSCs, the companies obtain the exclusive rights for exploration, development and production in the respective blocks. The initial phase of the exploration period will last three years, during which the focus will be on acquiring and processing 3D seismic data to map the subsurface structure.

The blocks are located in the shallow water area approximately 50 km from the coast of Saramacca. Block 9 covers an area of 2,674 sq km, while Block 10 spans 2,972 sq km. The water depth in these areas reaches up to 50 m.
