The Project
Hebron is a heavy oil field estimated to have 400 - 700 million barrels of recoverable resources. The field was first discovered in 1981, and is located offshore Newfoundland and Labrador in the Jeanne d'Arc Basin 350 kilometres southeast of St. John's, the capital of Newfoundland and Labrador. It is approximately 9 kilometres north of the Terra Nova project, 32 kilometres southeast of the Hibernia project, and 46 kilometres from the White Rose project. The water depth at Hebron is approximately 92 metres.
Hebron is a major project
that will deliver significant benefits to Canada, particularly to
Newfoundland and Labrador: engineering, fabrication and
construction, employment and training, research and development
opportunities, along with significant royalty and tax revenues.
The Hebron field will be developed
using a stand-alone concrete GBS. The GBS will consist of a
reinforced concrete structure designed to withstand sea ice,
icebergs, and meteorological and oceanographic conditions at the
offshore Hebron Project Area. The preliminary GBS concept has a
single main shaft supporting the topsides, encompassing all wells.
The GBS concept will be further refined/finalized during FEED and
detailed design stages.
