HOUSTON, May 15 -- Husky Energy Inc., Calgary, on May 9-10 produced a gross 100,000 b/d of 31° gravity oil from White Rose oil field in the Jeanne d'Arc basin off Newfoundland, following the successful completion of a fourth production well. Husky restricted flow for pressure buildup and will keep gross production at 85,000 b/d until it completes a fifth production well in late June.
When the fifth well is on stream, White Rose capacity is expected to again exceed 100,000 b/d.
The company estimates the field's probable reserves at 200-250 million bbl (OGJ Online, Aug. 12, 2004).
White Rose produces from the SeaRose floating production, storage, and offloading vessel 350 km southeast of St. John's.
Husky Energy, the project operator, holds a 72.5% working interest in the field, and Petro-Canada holds 27.5% (OGJ Online, Aug. 28, 2005).
