Construction work for Cenovus Energy’s West White Rose development offshore Newfoundland and Labrador is advancing, the company reported in a trading update.

The concrete gravity structure is reaching its final height, and the topsides are structurally completed. Overall, the project is now about 80% complete and progressing on schedule, with first oil expected in 2026.

West White Rose is in the Jeanne d’Arc Basin in 120 m water depth. The field will produce via a tieback to the SeaRose FPSO, which has been undergoing maintenance work at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast.

This program too is close to completion, with the vessel set to return to the White Rose Field in late September.
