Suriname has proven oil reserves of 101,700,000 barrels (as reported in 2025) (#70 in the world), representing 0.0058% of the world's total.
As of 2025 production rates, Suriname has roughly 23 years of proven oil reserves left (crude and condensate reserves ÷ their annual production).

Oil Production in Suriname

Suriname produced 11,660 barrels per day of oil and petroleum liquids in 2025 (#90 in the world), a decrease of 6.9% from 12,526 barrels per day in 2024.
Of that, 12,089 barrels per day was crude oil in 2025.
And 0 barrels per day was natural gas plant liquids (NGPL) in 2025.

Suriname has years with negative refinery gain. Refinery gain (or processing gain) is the volume difference between the refined products output and crude input.

Oil Consumption in Suriname

Suriname consumed 14,772 barrels per day of oil and petroleum products in 2024 (#154 in the world), an increase of 0.41% from 2023. This represents 0.01% of the world's total oil consumption.
Per capita, oil consumption in Suriname averaged 0.98 us gallons per day in 2024 (#65 in the world).
The largest refined-product categories were Distillate Fuel Oil (43.9%), Motor Gasoline (32.9%), and Residual Fuel Oil (9.9%).
