Husky Energy announced it will resume production from its two drill centers in Newfoundland and Labrador. Husky expects to reach full production rates in the very near future. This restart of the North Amethyst and South White Rose Extension drill centers follows the resumption of operations from three other White Rose drill centers in the first half of 2019.
CEO Rob Peabody said, “We’ve enhanced our startup procedures, strengthened equipment and added more barriers to prevent failures. The lessons we’ve learned have also been shared broadly through the industry.”
Following the startup, Husky expects White Rose production to ramp up to approximately 20,000 bpd.
Husky has identified and implemented several process safety initiatives and has added additional oversight around critical activities and the process of restarting production.
