Discovered in 1984, the White Rose offshore oil field is located in the Jeanne d'Arc Basin 350 kilometres east of St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The field consists of both oil and gas pools, including the South White Rose oil pool. The oil pool covers approximately 40 square kilometres (15 sq mi) and contains an estimated 440 million barrels (70,000,000 m³) of recoverable oil. White Rose is the second harsh environment development in North America to use a Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel, SeaRose. Production from the field began on November 12, 2005; the first shipment of oil from the field was delivered to the Irving Oil Refinery on December 6, 2005.^[1]
