HOUSTON, Sept. 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- APA Corporation (Nasdaq: APA) and TotalEnergies have announced the launching of development studies for a large oil project in Block 58, offshore Suriname. TotalEnergies is the operator of Block 58, with a 50% interest, alongside APA (50%).

Successful appraisal of the two main oil discoveries, with the drilling and testing of two wells at Sapakara South and three wells at Krabdagu, confirmed combined recoverable resources of approximately 700 million barrels of oil for the two fields.
