white rose oilfield development application - Husky Energy

• Husky Oil’s preferred development option, an FPSO, will allow Newfoundland and Labrador, on acompetitive basis, to develop and expand on cutting-edge skills and technologies that present growthopportunities in Canada and internationally.• The procurement requirements for the White Rose oilfield development are such that a wide rangeof consumables and contracted services can be acquired in Newfoundland and Labrador and inCanada as a whole.• The labour requirements identified for the project are substantial, totaling approximately 12.2million person-hours over the life of the project, the majority of which will be located inNewfoundland and Labrador. The largest components of the total labour requirements areoperations/production (43 percent of the total labour requirement) and topsides fabrication (12percent), hull fabrication (10 percent) and production drilling (9 percent).• These procurement and labour requirements are such that the Project will make a very substantialcontribution to the economy and society of Newfoundland and Labrador.• However, the total benefits accruing to Newfoundland and Labrador, and to Canada, will bedependent on the ability of companies to be internationally competitive. This is the key to successnot only in respect to the White Rose project but also the development of a sustainable domesticoffshore oil industry.White Rose DA Project Summary • January 2001 Page 46
