Aker Kvaerner will ship three subsea MultiBooster pumps to the Gulf of Mexico today. The installation in the King field will break world records when it is applied in water depths in excess of 1 700 metres, more than 29 kilometres from the platform. The contract was first announced by Aker Kvaerner on 4 October 2005.
"This represents a key milestone for Aker Kvaerner's award-winning processing and boosting technology," says Jarl Kosberg, Senior Vice President Trees / Processing and Boosting, Aker Kvaerner Subsea. "The installation of these pumps will extend the production lifetime of the field and increase the ultimate oil recovery for the operator".
