In a significant stride towards unlocking Suriname’s hydrocarbon potential, Blue Water has secured a comprehensive logistics contract with Noble Drilling for its operations in Suriname. The Noble Voyager drillship, spearheading an exploration campaign north of Paramaribo, Suriname’s capital city, is set to benefit from Blue Water’s expertise in customs brokerage, local logistics services, domestic transport, and personnel management.
Gerson Sporkslede, General Manager of Blue Water Suriname’s recently inaugurated branch, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership with Noble Drilling. “We are thrilled to partner with Noble Drilling in this exciting project, which has the potential to unlock significant hydrocarbon resources in Suriname,” he stated. Sporkslede attributed the success of securing the contract to the dedication and hard work exhibited not only by the local team but also by other Blue Water offices offering invaluable support.
The Noble Voyager drillship has embarked on a comprehensive exploration campaign that involves drilling wells strategically positioned north of Paramaribo. This campaign holds the promise of unveiling substantial hydrocarbon resources, marking a crucial phase for both Blue Water and Noble Drilling.
The establishment of Blue Water’s operational branch in Paramaribo at the end of 2023 has played a pivotal role in facilitating the logistics triumph. Designed to bolster support for the Oil & Energy sector in the Caribbean, the Paramaribo office leverages its knowledge of local conditions and legislation. This enables the team to tailor freight and logistics solutions to the unique demands of the region. Additionally, the office provides essential services such as personnel logistics, visa and immigration support, procurement, and trucking services.
The significance of this contract extends beyond individual success, reflecting Blue Water’s commitment to excellence in serving its clients. “This contract is a great achievement for our team and a reflection of the hard work and dedication here and from other Blue Water offices in support,” highlighted Sporkslede. As Blue Water continues to forge ahead, the team eagerly anticipates the successful execution of this pivotal logistics contract.
Blue Water’s collaboration with Noble Drilling in Suriname underscores the growing influence of logistics expertise in the oil and energy sector. With the Noble Voyager drillship at the forefront of exploration, the partnership is poised to make significant strides in uncovering and harnessing Suriname’s hydrocarbon potential.
