To whom it may interest.
I wish to share this with you.

Unfortunately one seldom encounters studies on Guyana Suriname Basin on LinkedIn or other open platforms.

Discussions, exhange of own generated data, results are always very positive, lead to increased understanding, raise exploration succes, I have learned, noted during the last half century.

But I very well know from own experience…
In petroleum industry secrecy and being tight lipped?
Is about one of the most important character traits needed…

“From Source to Success: Canje Source Rock’s Golden Legacy in Block 58.
Diving in “Golden Lane Michelin 5-Stars Kitchen”.

My independent basin modeling study reveals why Block 58 and its extension into Guyana’s Stabroek Block represents the industry’s ‘Golden Lane’ of premium light oil discoveries.

Focusing this time on the critical and first Maka Central-1 discovery well, offshore Suriname, I have reconstructed the thermal evolution that created this remarkable sweet spot of hydrocarbon generation.

Through detailed modeling using published geochemical and stratigraphic data, I have mapped how the Canje Source rock’s burial history created optimal conditions for high-quality light oil generation.

By integrating critical parameters, Total Organic Carbon (TOC), Hydrogen Index (HI), and Type II kerogen kinetics, I have tracked the systematic progression through thermal maturity windows that yielded this coveted hydrocarbon kitchen.

My analysis reveals why this specific corridor consistently delivers exceptional hydrocarbon quality.

The thermal modeling demonstrates how the perfect interplay of burial depth and temperature history created ideal conditions for light oil generation.
With depending on where very deep burial occurs, further maturation into wet gas and dry gas kitchen conditions.

The transformation ratio evolution shows the source rock achieved optimal maturity precisely within this golden lane, explaining the remarkable success rate of discoveries from Block 58 into Stabroek.

This research provides the scientific foundation for understanding the organic geochemical sweet spot that makes this corridor exceptional.

By modeling the source rock’s journey through various maturity windows, I’ve documented how the perfect combination of burial history, thermal stress, and organic matter transformation resulted in premium light oil generation.

This work not only validates the petroleum system model but crucially explains why this specific trend hosts the highest quality oil discoveries in the Suriname-Guyana Basin, supporting Block’s 58 exploration success and illuminating why this golden corridor continues to yield remarkable discoveries.

Enjoy.
Getting gradually buried, older and maturing through time.​​​​​​​​​​..
