Terra Nova FPSO

Terra Nova FPSO

"Terra Nova" is an FPSO located in the Terra Nova oil and gas field, approximately 350 kilometers (217 m) east-southeast off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada in the North Atlantic Ocean. The Terra Nova field is operated by Petro-Canada, with a 33.9% interest.

The "Terra Nova" is south of the successful Hibernia field and the more recent White Rose field. All three fields are in the Jeanne d'Arc basin on the eastern edge of the famous Grand Banks fishing territory.

The "Terra Nova" lost 165,000 liters of oil into the ocean in 2004 because of two mechanical failures. In June 2006, production on the Terra Nova was halted as the platform was sent to Rotterdam for a refit. It returned to the Terra Nova field on September 25, 2006.
