    HOUSTON — TotalEnergies and joint venture partner APA Corp. have switched their focus in Block 58 offshore Suriname to a well test on the Sapakara-South-2 (SPS-2) appraisal well.

    This follows a non-commercial result from recently concluded drilling operations on the Awari prospect in the previously untested northwest part of the block.

    SPS-2 is 4.6 km south of the Sapakara South-1 discovery well. Flow-test operations will begin after drilling has reached the targeted Maastrichtian-Campanian formation, with results expected during December.
