OVERVIEW

Why OneSubsea boosting (pumps)?

Our subsea pump systems are fit for any challenge, be it hydrocarbon or water flows – directly on the seabed. Our solutions are based on proven and efficient centrifugal pump technology that uses various stages of impellers to provide the required pressure increase. Subsea boosting and pump systems can also reduce energy consumption and emissions when compared to topside alternatives, supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 7, 12 and 13.

Core benefits

Decarbonize your operations

Subsea boosting systems are part of our SLB-certified Transition Technologies portfolio of solutions that enable full field development with lower environmental impact.

Increase recovery and accelerate production

Lower wellhead pressure to improve recovery and boost early revenue with 20%-200% higher flow rates.

Improve flow assurance

Mitigate slugging with more benign flow regimes, and facilitate hydrate and wax management because of heat transfer from the pump and motor.

Application

Our subsea multi-phase pump can boost hydrocarbon flows with a high Gas Volume Fraction (GVF) – suitable for pumping raw well streams
Hybrid pump achieves the best balance between gas tolerance and efficiency, ideal for low-to-medium gas content
Solutions are also suitable for deepwater developments, subsea water injection, and long distance subsea tiebacks

Features

Make capex and opex gains from simplifying your subsea infrastructure and reducing energy consumption
Produce from otherwise unavailable fields with our solutions’ ability to compensate for the pressure drop over long tieback distances
Our boosting and pump systems are inherently robust and wear-resistant, suitable for use with fluids containing sand particles
