该井位于离岸约185公里处，水深904米，已成功钻探总深度5315米。它还遇到了几个含油坎帕尼亚砂岩油藏包。正在进行进一步评估，以确定该发现的全部范围及其与 2020 年在同一区块内发现的 Sloanea-1 发现的潜在开发协同作用。

PETRONAS 执行副总裁兼上游首席执行官 Datuk Adif Zulkifli 表示：“ETRONAS 认为 Roystonea-1 石油发现是实现我们国际上游企业差异化桶战略的积极进展，专注于污染物最少的材料发现。 ”

马石油勘探副总裁 Mohd Redhani Abdul Rahman 补充道：“Roystonea-1 的成功预计将推动周边地区商业上可行的碳氢化合物资源的进一步勘探。马石油将继续与东道国国家石油公司及合作伙伴密切合作，释放苏里南的碳氢化合物潜力。我们期待着共同实施安全、成功的未来勘探计划。”

52区块面积4749平方公里，位于苏里南首都帕拉马里博海岸以北，位于未来的苏里南-圭亚那盆地内。PETRONAS Suriname E&P 是 52 区块的运营商，拥有 50% 的参与权益。

除 52 区块外，PETRONAS Suriname E&P 还经营 48 区块，并拥有 100% 的参与权益。该公司还是邻近 53 区块 30% 非经营性参与权益的合作伙伴，该区块于 2022 年发现了 Baja-1 石油。

这一发现是马来西亚国家石油公司为确保能源安全以满足不断增长的全球能源需求而不断努力的结果。

The well, located about 185 km offshore in water depth of 904 m, was successfully drilled to a total depth of 5315 metres. It also encountered several oil-bearing Campanian sandstone reservoir packages. Further evaluation is being undertaken to determine the full extent of this discovery and its potential development synergy with the Sloanea-1 discovery made in 2020 within the same block.

PETRONAS Executive Vice President and Chief Executive Officer of Upstream, Datuk Adif Zulkifli said: “PETRONAS views the Roystonea-1 oil discovery as a positive development towards realising our differentiated barrel strategy for international upstream ventures, focusing on a material discovery with minimal contaminants.”

PETRONAS Vice President of Exploration, Mohd Redhani Abdul Rahman added, “The success of Roystonea-1 is expected to drive further exploration for commercially viable hydrocarbon resources in the surrounding areas. PETRONAS will continue to work closely with the host authority, Staatsolie, and partners to unlock Suriname's hydrocarbon potential. We look forward to implementing safe and successful future exploration programmes together.”

Block 52, which covers an area of 4749 km2, is located north of the coast of Paramaribo, Suriname’s capital city, within the prospective Suriname-Guyana basin. PETRONAS Suriname E&P is the operator of Block 52 with a 50% participating interest.

In addition to Block 52, PETRONAS Suriname E&P operates Block 48 with 100% participating interest. It is also a partner with 30% non-operating participating interest in the adjacent Block 53 where the Baja-1 oil discovery was made in 2022.

This discovery is a result of PETRONAS’ ongoing efforts towards ensuring energy security to meet the growing global energy demands.
