SeaRose is an FPSO located in the White Rose oil and gas field, approximately 350 kilometres (217 m) east-southeast off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada in the North Atlantic Ocean. The White Rose field is operated by Husky Energy, with a 72.5% interest, with Petro-Canada owning a 27.5% share.

The SeaRose is approximately 50 km (31 m) east of the successful Hibernia field and the more recent Terra Nova field. All three fields are in the Jeanne d'Arc basin on the eastern edge of the famous Grand Banks fishing territory.

The SeaRose made her way from the Samsung Heavy Industries shipyard in Geoje South Korea to Marystown, Newfoundland, for final preparation, in April of 2004; a 14,000-nautical mile trip that took two months. In August of 2005 she left Marystown for her work duty at White Rose.
