"The withdrawal is part of the ongoing evaluation of assets in ExxonMobil's global portfolio," Staatsolie said in a statement, adding the withdrawal was effective as of November 14.

An initial gas discovery in the block off Suriname's northern coast was made in 2020 and a second well was drilled earlier this year.

Exxon did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
