The two wells are expected to ramp up to a combined net peak production of 15,000 bopd. South White Rose is Husky's second major subsea tieback following the North Amethyst subsea project in 2010.

"This satellite extension aligns with our long-term strategy to extend the life of the main White Rose field through staged step-outs," said CEO Asim Ghosh.

Production from the South White Rose extension drill center is tied back to the SeaRose FPSO vessel.

Husky is the operator of White Rose field and its satellite extensions, holding a 72.5% working interest in the main White Rose field and a 68.875% interest in the satellite fields, which include North Amethyst, South White Rose and West White Rose.
