Terra Nova oil field
Terra Nova is an oil field development project off the coast of Newfoundland. Discovered in 1984 by Petro-Canada, the field is the second largest off Canada's East Coast. Terra Nova is the first harsh environment development in North America to use a Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel, "Terra Nova". Production from the field began in January 2002. The reservoir has an expected life of 15–17 years. The oil is produced from Late Jurassic sandstone within the Jeanne d'Arc Formation. The reservoir was deposited as a large braided fluvial system. The discovery well  was Terra Nova K-08 drilled in 1984 by Petro-Canada. Several studies concerning fish health around the Terra Nova oil field before and after produced water had been discharged indicates that it has had no significant effects on the health of the American plaice.
