| Aker Kvaerner delivers subsea technology to the Gulf of Mexico  >Aker Kvaerner will ship three subsea MultiBooster pumps to the Gulf of Mexico. 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. Aker Kvaerner's MultiBooster subsea system increases oil production and recovery rates, extends the useful life of fields and enables longer step-out distances between subsea assets and host facilities by adding energy to the wellstream.The three MultiBooster pumps, weighing 57 tonnes each, are expected to reach the Gulf of Mexico beginning of July. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
