Halliburton Wins GranMorgu Well Construction Contracts in Offshore Suriname

Halliburton has been awarded major integrated well construction contracts for the GranMorgu deepwater development project located offshore Suriname. The agreement specifies the provision of drilling and completions services to support a long-term operational program managed by the operator, TotalEnergies.

Digital Workflows and Operational Controls
The company will deploy an integrated digital and automated execution model designed to combine project planning, engineering, and field operations. The technical framework applies integrated digital workflows alongside real-time data streaming and remote operations control systems for drilling and completions activities. These capabilities connect surface operational platforms with subsurface execution systems to improve well placement accuracy, provide delivery assurance, and lower the total cost of ownership throughout the well construction lifecycle.

Local Infrastructure Investment and Capacity Building
The development program incorporates local capability development through infrastructure investments and collaborative work with regional suppliers. Within the contract scope, the provider worked with local suppliers to execute technical upgrades to its liquid mud and cement plant infrastructure. The enterprise also supported the construction of a dedicated completions and drilling workshop in Suriname, featuring specialized equipment maintenance and repair capabilities.

Strategic Alliances and Asset Expansion
To support national economic growth, the project execution prioritizes local talent acquisition alongside regional suppliers. The deepwater deployment supports the industrial expansion of Suriname’s offshore energy sector. Furthermore, the operational workflow establishes a project baseline through a global alliance framework established between Halliburton, TotalEnergies, and Noble.
