Name of the Project
West White Rose project.

Location
The main White Rose field is located about 350 km east of St John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, in Canada, on the eastern edge of the Jeanne d’Arc basin in water depths of about 120 m.

Client
Husky Energy, Nalcor Energy and Suncor Energy.

Project Description
The project will use a fixed wellhead platform tied back to the SeaRose floating production, storage and offloading vessel.

The project involves a concrete gracing structure (CGS) supported wellhead platform, which will include drilling facilities, utilities, support services and accommodation for personnel.

A purpose-built graving dock at Argentia, in Newfoundland and Labrador, has been completed to enable construction of the CGS. The CGS, with an overall height of 145 m and a base diameter of 122 m, will require 76 000 m³ of concrete for its construction. Following construction, the CGS will be towed to the White Rose field, where the platform’s topsides will be installed before connection to the SeaRose, using existing subsea infrastructure.

Once completed and installed in the White Rose field, the CGS will support a topside module to enable drilling and oil extraction 350 km away from the coast of Newfoundland.

Potential Job Creation
The project is expected to create about 250 permanent platform jobs once operational.

Value
The project has an estimated net project cost of $2.2-billion to first oil.

Duration
Construction is expected to start in the fourth quarter of this year, with first oil expected in 2022.
