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.
The latest project is part of GE Oil & Gas’s five new initiatives launched to accelerate technology development and testing across the energy value chain.
