Oil spill from a flowline
An oil spill off the coast of Newfoundland caused an estimated 250,000 litres of crude to leak into the ocean from a flowline to the "SeaRose FPSO" in the midday hours of Nov 17, 2018. The vessel was stationed about 350 kilometres off the Newfoundland coast in the White Rose field. The spill occurred while crews were preparing to restart production. Operations had been halted on Nov 16 due to high winds and rough seas. Oil extraction remained suspended as the cause of the spill was investigated, but swells of up to seven metres were preventing any underwater examination. The spill could not be contained or cleaned up until waves subsided.
