UK-based GE Oil & Gas has launched a joint industry project (JIP) with Statoil, Total, and two other operators to develop a new subsea boosting system.
The new boosting system has the potential to reduce lifecycle costs by up to 30% and improve operational flexibility for operators.

The new system known as the Modular Contra-rotating Pump (MCP) uses technology from the GE Aviation business.
Using the MCP, more oil can be unlocked and accessed in new and mature wells conveniently by reducing the topside and subsea footprint by up to 50%.
There is also no need for equipment such as the barrier fluid system, which is required in conventional subsea boosting systems.
