Husky reports success off Canada in White Rose
Offshore staff
Husky Energy reports hydrocarbons at the White Rose O-28 delineation well in the western section of the White Rose oil field, offshore Newfoundland and
Labrador, Canada.
The O-28 well is on Significant Discovery License 1044 to a depth of 3,342 m. It showed a 280 m oil column in a multi- layered reservoir in the Ben Nevis Avalon formation. An additional side-track well is being drilled and logged.
"Further drilling and reservoir evaluation will be carried out to determine the extent of the reservoir and its recoverable reserves. We expect this discovery will significantly extend the production plateau and field life of the White Rose oil field," said John C.S. Lau, CEO and president of Husky.
