Description
- The White Rose oilfield is located 350 kilometres east of Newfoundland
- On the eastern edge of the White Rose field are the North Amethyst, West White Rose and South White Rose extensions. All producing fields use the SeaRose floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel. The purpose-built Searose FPSO with a peak production rate of approximately 100,000 barrels of oil per day.
- Initial plans provided for a total of 19 to 21 wells to recover between 200 and 250 million barrels of oil over a 10 to 15 year period.
- The field produces light sweet crude oil
White Rose Extension Project (WREP)
- The facility for WREP will consist of topsides supported by a concrete gravity structure (CGS)
West White Rose Project
- The project will use a fixed wellhead platform tied back to the SeaRose floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel.
- First oil is expected in 2022 and the project is anticipated to achieve a gross peak production rate of approximately 75,000 barrels per day (bbls/day) in 2025, as development wells are drilled and brought online.
