Husky Energy has started production from a second oil well at the South White Rose extension drill centre offshore Newfoundland and Labrador.
The two wells are expected to ramp up to a combined net peak production of 15,000 barrels per day (bbls/day). South White Rose is Husky’s second major subsea tieback following the North Amethyst subsea project in 2010.
“This satellite extension aligns with our long-term strategy to extend the life of the main White Rose field through staged step-outs,” said CEO Asim Ghosh .
Production from the South White Rose extension drill centre is tied back to the SeaRose FPSO vessel.
Husky is the operator of the White Rose field and satellite extensions, holding a 72.5 percent working interest in the main White Rose field and a 68.875 percent interest in the satellite fields, which include North Amethyst, South White Rose and West White Rose.
