Operators have spent $84 billion Canadian dollars in exploration, development, and production offshore Newfoundland, Canada, between 1966 and 2019, and have produced about 2 billion barrels of an estimated 3.3 billion barrels recoverable oil. Four major projects have been developed—Hibernia, Terra Nova, White Rose/North Amethyst, and Hebron—using two development concepts, gravity-base structures and floating production storage and offloading vessels. The region is characterized by severe storm and sea conditions, including the presence of icebergs, which challenge all aspects of exploration and development. From 1998 to 2019, exploration and delineation drilling cost averaged $90.9 million per well and $26,494 per meter drilled. Development wells drilled from mobile offshore drilling units over the same period averaged $91.1 million per producer well and $68.8 million per injector well. Regional development cost was $32.5/bbl since the start of production and is expected to fall to $22/bbl when recoverable volumes circa 2020 have been extracted. Average regional production cost from 2006 to 2019 is estimated at $23.4/bbl and ranges from $16.8/bbl at Hibernia to about $35/bbl at Terra Nova and White Rose. This is the first detailed evaluation of exploration, development, and production cost offshore Newfoundland.

在1966年至2019年之间，运营商在加拿大纽芬兰近海的勘探，开发和生产上花费了840亿加元，生产了约20亿桶石油，估计可采石油量达33亿桶。利用两个开发概念，重力基础结构以及浮式生产储卸船，已经开发了四个主要项目，分别是：Hibernia，Terra Nova，White Rose / North Amethyst和Hebron。该地区的特点是严重的风暴和海况，包括冰山的存在，这挑战了勘探和开发的各个方面。从1998年到2019年，勘探和定界钻探成本平均为每口井9090万美元和每米26494美元。同期从海上移动钻井平台钻的开发井平均价格为91美元。每口生产井100万口，每口注入井6880万美元。自生产开始以来，区域开发成本为32.5美元/桶，预计在2020年左右开采出可采量后，区域开发成本将降至22美元/桶。从2006年到2019年，该地区的平均生产成本估计为23.4美元/桶，从Hibernia的16.8美元/桶到Terra Nova和White Rose的35美元/桶左右。这是对纽芬兰近海的勘探，开发和生产成本的首次详细评估。Hibernia的价格为每桶8美元，Terra Nova和White Rose的价格为每桶35美元左右。这是对纽芬兰近海的勘探，开发和生产成本的首次详细评估。Hibernia的价格为每桶8美元，Terra Nova和White Rose的价格为每桶35美元左右。这是对纽芬兰近海的勘探，开发和生产成本的首次详细评估。
