The Canadian Energy Company Suncor Energy Restarted Production at Its FPSO Terra Nova, Located in Canada

Suncor Energy operates the Terra Nova field, located about 350 kilometers southeast of Newfoundland and Labrador. The Terra Nova FPSO was shut down for repairs before last month’s storm, which affected production at several offshore facilities in Canada. While the repairs were completed before the storm, the Terra Nova remained closed during the storm and did not start up until inspections were completed.

The Canadian offshore regulator, C-NLOPB, said in an update on Monday that the production startup of the Terra Nova FPSO began on Sunday, December 2, with a slow and controlled process of restarting production.

Before the startup, inspections were completed, and Suncor Energy received approval from the Certification Authority and C-NLOPB and was deemed safe to resume operations.

The Terra Nova FPSO and its subsea infrastructure underwent significant integrity assurance work before restarting activities.

Extensive pressure testing and remote-operated vehicle inspections of the subsea flow lines were also completed. C-NLOPB continues to monitor Suncor’s restart activities.

The Terra Nova field consists of a combination of producing wells, as well as water injection and gas injection wells, and delivers production from the Graben, East Flank, and Far East blocks. Production from the field began in 2002, through the use of an FPSO vessel.

Due to the storm, several other offshore facilities were shut down, including ExxonMobil’s Hebron. The platform resumed production on November 23, but weeks later, it was in the spotlight again following a high-potential incident near miss.

In related news, the SeaRose FPSO operated by Husky spilled about 250 cubic meters (250,000 liters) of oil into the environment as a result of severe weather conditions in Canada. The FPSO remains closed.

The regulator said on Monday that maintenance activities are ongoing at the SeaRose FPSO, but all drilling and production operations remain suspended. C-NLOPB continues its investigation into the incident.
