Statoil has scored two additional offshore exploration licenses in Suriname's Guyana Basin.

- Block 59: Statoil has been awarded 33.33% equity interest. ExxonMobil is the operator. Block 59 is a potential extension of the trend on which the Liza discovery was made in neighbouring Guyana.

- Block 60: Statoil has been awarded 100% equity interest and operatorship. Block 60 sits adjacent to Tullow-operated Block 54, where Statoil is partner. Tullow is preparing to drill the Araku-1 wildcat exploration well in Block 54 later this year.
