ROVs take lead following White Rose oil spill

摘要

Operator Husky Energy reported on November 16 that its SeaRose floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel in the White Rose field had experienced a loss of pressure from a subsea flowline, resulting in a discharge of crude oil into the sea. The incident occurred during preparations to restart production at the facility, following a suspension as a result of a storm the previous day. Husky's own investigations revealed the incident occurred during "hot oiling," a process of circulating warm crude from the FPSO through the subsea network in order to warm up flowlines prior to restarting production.
