    White Rose Extension

    White Rose Extension

    Husky is the operator and majority owner of the White Rose field and satellite extensions. The original White Rose field was developed using subsea technology, consisting of three drill centres tied back to a floating, production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel. Production is provided by subsea wells in the Southern and Central drill centres while surplus gas is re-injected into the Northern Drill Centre for future extraction. In May 2010, production commenced from North Amethyst, the first of a number of potential subsea tie-ins to the main White Rose field.

    The current focus of the White Rose Extension Project is on accessing the resources of the West White Rose pool. Subject to final company, partner, and regulatory approvals, Husky is exploring the option of developing this resource using a wellhead platform (WHP), tied back to the existing SeaRose FPSO.

    The WHP option will consist of a concrete gravity structure (CGS) with a topsides, including drilling facilities, wellheads, and support services such as accommodations for up to 130 persons, utilities, flare boom, and a helideck. The primary function of the WHP will be drilling. There will be no oil storage in the CGS. All well fluids will be transported via subsea flowlines to the SeaRose FPSO for processing, storage, and offloading.

    The CGS will be constructed in a purpose-built graving dock at Argentia, Newfoundland and Labrador, and the topsides structure will be fabricated in an existing fabrication yard(s). The completed WHP will be installed in the western portion of the White Rose field and tied back to the SeaRose FPSO.

    Tina Olivero

    30 years ago, Tina Olivero looked into the future and saw an opportunity to make a difference for her province and people. That difference came in the form of the oil and gas sector. Six years before there was even a drop of oil brought to the shores of Newfoundland, she founded The Oil and Gas Magazine (THE OGM) from a back room in her home on Signal Hill Road, in St. John’s, Newfoundland. A single mother, no financing, no previous journalism or oil and gas experience, she forged ahead, with a creative vision and one heck of a heaping dose of sheer determination. With her pioneering spirit, Ms. Olivero developed a magazine that would educate, inspire, motivate and entertain oil and gas readers around the world — She prides herself in marketing and promoting our province and resources in unprecedented ways. The OGM is a magazine that focuses on our projects, our people, our opportunities and ultimately becomes the bridge to new energy outcomes and a sustainable new energy world. Now diversifying into the communications realms, a natural progression from the Magazine, The OGM now offers an entirely new division - Oil & Gas Media. Today, The Oil and Gas Magazine is a global phenomenon that operates not only in Newfoundland, but also in Calgary and is read by oil and gas enthusiasts in Norway, Aberdeen, across the US and as far reaching as Abu Dhabi, in the Middle East. Believing that Energy is everyone’s business, Ms. Olivero has combined energy + culture to embrace the worlds commitment to a balance of work and home life as well as fostering a foundation for health and well being. In this era of growth and development business and lifestyle are an eloquent mix, there is no beginning or end. Partnering with over 90 oil and gas exhibitions and conferences around the world, Ms. Olivero's role as a Global Visionary is to embrace communication in a way that fosters oil and gas business and industry growth in new and creative ways.
