The Project
The Hebron
oil field is located offshore Newfoundland and Labrador in the
Jeanne d'Arc Basin 350 kilometres southeast of St. John's. The
field was first discovered in 1980, and is estimated to contain
660-1055 million barrels of recoverable crude oil.
The Hebron field will be developed using a stand-alone concrete gravity based structure (GBS). The GBS will consist of a reinforced concrete structure designed to withstand sea ice, icebergs and meteorological and oceanographic conditions. It will be designed to store approximately 1.2 million barrels of crude oil. The Bull Arm Site is the primary construction site for the GBS.
The GBS will support an integrated Topsides deck that includes a living quarters and facilities to perform drilling and production. A substantial portion of the Topsides will be engineered and fabricated in Newfoundland and Labrador, and the integration will be performed at the Bull Arm Site.
The project includes offshore surveys, engineering,
procurement, fabrication, construction, installation,
commissioning, development drilling, production, operations and
maintenance and decommissioning.
Hebron is a major project that will deliver significant benefits to Newfoundland and Labrador: engineering, fabrication and construction, employment and training of a diverse workforce, research and development opportunities, along with significant royalty and tax revenues.
