Executive Conference
Offshore Suriname and Guyana represents a mega basin with opportunities for multi-energy and company deployments, integrated infrastructures and fuels. What key supporting infrastructure projects are required to capitalise on this resource wealth? Designing, planning and implementing large scale infrastructure projects requires a long-term view and often faces regulatory, funding and technological challenges that hinder progress and delay development. How can Suriname circumnavigate these obstacles and what are the keys for enabling the sustainable buildout of infrastructure to support long-term economic and industrial growth.
