Suriname sees strong interest in Guyana gas pipeline

A pipeline between neighbours Guyana and Suriname to transport gas from their offshore projects would be of "high interest" to increase the availability of the fuel, said on Wednesday the managing director of Suriname's state-run Staatsolie, Annand Jagesar.

Both countries are separately developing their oil and gas industries offshore, with an Exxon Mobil-led consortium rapidly expanding crude output and seeking to start non-associated gas production in Guyana in the coming years.

In Suriname, a consortium led by TotalEnergies is expected to begin oil output in 2028 through the $12 billion Gran Morgu project, while a separate natural gas development progresses towards final investment decision.
