Husky Energy has commenced production from a second oil well at the South White Rose extension drill center offshore Newfoundland and Labrador.
The two wells are expected to ramp up to a combined net peak production of 15,000 b/d. South White Rose is Husky's second major subsea tieback following the North Amethyst subsea project in 2010.
Production from the South White Rose extension drill center is tied back to the SeaRose FPSO (floating production, storage and offloading) vessel.
"This satellite extension aligns with our long-term strategy to extend the life of the main White Rose field through staged step-outs," said Asim Ghosh, CEO of Husky Energy.
In other White Rose news, Husky continues to advance its assessment of subsea and wellhead platform concepts for development of the West White Rose extension. The project is expected to begin production in the 2020-plus timeframe.
Husky is the operator of the White Rose field and satellite extensions, holding a 72.5% working interest in the main White Rose field and a 68.875% interest in the satellite fields, which include North Amethyst, South White Rose and West White Rose.
