• 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
4 DEVELOPMENT PLANDeveloping the White Rose oilfield will include:• design engineering of the selected production system;• procuring the goods and services required for the production system;• constructing or modifying various components of the production system;• installing and commissioning the production system at the White Rose site;• drilling and completing up to 18 to 25 wells (production, water injection and gas injection);• production, operation, maintenance and support services over the producing life of the field,designed for a 20-year life span; and• decommissioning and removing the production system from the White Rose site, and removingand/or abandoning the subsea infrastructure.4.1 Geology4.1.1 White Rose StratigraphyThe stratigraphic section penetrated by the wells drilled in the White Rose region contains Tertiary toUpper Jurassic age rocks. Of the formations penetrated, only the South Mara, Avalon, Eastern Shoalsand Hibernia sections have any reservoir-quality sandstones. The oldest rocks penetrated in the WhiteRose region are from the Voyager Formation in the White Rose N-22 well.The Egret Member is the main source rock for the hydrocarbons in the White Rose area and waspenetrated in the White Rose A-90, Archer K19 and Trave E-87 wells. Oil bearing, overpressuredsandstones, probably the Tempest Member were penetrated in the E-09 well.The Aptian-aged Avalon Formation is the primary reservoir in the White Rose field. In general, theAvalon is a marginal marine, shoreface succession through much of the field. The Avalon is dominatedby fine to very fine-grained sandstones, siltstones and shales, and ranges from 0 to 400 m in thickness.The main sandstone accumulations occur in the southeastern portion of the field with the E-09, L-08, A-17 and H-20 wells (South Avalon Pool) exhibiting thicknesses of up to 350 m of sandstone. The AvalonFormation is absent in the White Rose A-90 and Trave E-87 wells.White Rose DA Project Summary • January 2001 Page 47
