Halliburton has been awarded contracts to provide integrated drilling and completions services for the GranMorgu deepwater oil development located around 150km off Suriname’s coast.
The deal covers a long-term programme and will see Halliburton implement a digital and automation execution model designed to connect planning, engineering and operations.
For the GranMorgu project, Halliburton plans to use integrated digital workflows, real-time data and remote operations control.
These methods aim to improve well placement accuracy and delivery assurance, helping to connect surface activities with subsurface objectives.
According to the company, this approach is expected to help enhance recovery and reduce overall ownership costs for TotalEnergies.
GranMorgu is operated by TotalEnergies, which holds a 40% stake alongside partners APA (40%) and Staatsolie (20%).
The development covers Block 58, including the Sapakara and Krabdagu fields, where recoverable reserves are estimated at approximately 760 million barrels (mbbl).
Halliburton Caribbean vice-president Franco Delano said: “This award reflects the value of integrated execution, collaboration and digital technology in complex deepwater developments.
“The GranMorgu project demonstrates how aligned teams and advanced well construction capabilities support safe, efficient delivery and maximise asset value for our customers.”
The project involves major investments in local capability, with Halliburton collaborating with Surinamese suppliers to upgrade its liquid mud and cement facility.
Halliburton said the project integrates electrification, automation and digital workflows to increase efficiency, maintain consistent operations and support emissions-intensity reduction initiatives.
The GranMorgu development is expected to start production in 2028 using a floating production, storage and offloading unit (FPSO) with a capacity of 220,000 barrels per day.
The FPSO has been designed to allow for future tie-ins to extend production, drawing on design features from similar units used in Guyana.
In April 2026, Halliburton, Petronas Suriname Exploration & Production and Valaris entered into a strategic collaboration agreement to advance the development of offshore assets in Suriname. These assets are located in the Guyana-Suriname Basin.
“Halliburton to deliver drilling services at Suriname’s GranMorgu field” was originally created and published by Offshore Technology, a GlobalData owned brand.
