Rush Lake’s first oil
Only two years after the Rush Lake
project was sanctioned, it has ‘rushed’ to
produce its first oil. Lit up like a firefly on
the Saskatchewan prairies, it is part of
the company’s moves deploying low-
risk, modular construction templates
and thermal technologies that allow
for solid returns even in a low oil price
environment. The 10,000-barrel-per-
day development is expected to reach its
nameplate production capacity around
the end of 2015.

A Rose for Jeanne d’Arc
Husky Energy successfully
implemented the SouthWhite Rose
subsea satellite tieback - a means of
connecting new oilfields to existing
oil extraction infrastructure - to
extend the life of White Rose oil field
and maximise efficient use of the
SeaRose FPSO (floating production,
storage, and offloading) vessel. Smart
use of new connecting technologies is
extending the life of current projects in
the Jeanne d’Arc Basin and offsetting
natural declines in production in the
region to max out production at 15,000
barrels a day.
