<strong>Husky</strong> Oil already has an Ice Management Plan in place for its offshore exploration program. This planwill be reviewed, updated and/or modified, as appropriate, for <strong>application</strong> to the production phase of theWhite Rose <strong>oilfield</strong> <strong>development</strong>. It will be integrated with and draw upon the experience of otheroperators on the Grand Banks, together with the latest techniques and developing technologies, to producethe optimum plan for ice management for the White Rose <strong>development</strong>. It will cover both sea ice andicebergs, and will be flexible in recognition of the fact that the sea ice and iceberg conditions at the SouthWhite Rose area vary considerably from year to year.The limiting conditions imposed by environmental factors on the structure and associated systems will belargely predicated upon the final design criteria adopted for the FPSO and equipment specification. Thecriteria selected for equipment and system redundancy and availability, scheduled maintenance, andunscheduled shutdowns and breakdowns will also directly affect operational efficiency.<strong>Husky</strong> Oil intends to investigate all possibilities of cooperation with other operators in the prospective useof shared services and facilities to support offshore operations. Where synergies exist, it is highly probablethat efficiencies on this aspect can accrue to all parties.Contingency plans will be prepared for dealing with major emergencies threatening personnel safety orfacility integrity. These plans will comply with the requirements of Section 51 (3) of the NewfoundlandOffshore Area Production and Conservation Regulations. Contingency plans and standard operatingprocedures to be implemented for White Rose include:• emergency response;• vessel specific emergency response;• collision avoidance;• ice management;• oil spill response;• ship’s oil pollution emergency; and• emergency communications and family support.<strong>Husky</strong> Oil will cooperate with other operators and agencies in all emergency situations through resourcesharing and mutual aid. <strong>Husky</strong> Oil will also participate in joint training exercises with other operators.White Rose DA Project Summary • January 2001 Page 63
