The boosting pumps reduce back-pressure on the reservoir and are capable of improving recovery by 10% to 30%.

OneSubsea secured a contract in August 2015 to supply subsea processing systems for the Shell Offshore Stones development in the Gulf of Mexico.

Under the contract, the company delivered the 15,000psi subsea pump system, which was installed in the Gulf of Mexico at about 9,500ft.

The subsea processing systems included a dual pump station with two 3MW single-phase pumps as well as two subsea control modules.
