Flowserve and Subsea 7, its subcontractor, have been awarded a contract by Total SA – acting as the lead on a Joint Industry Project (JIP) venture for phase two of the MPSP 1500 project – to perform a qualification programme. It was that the successful completion of this programme would confirm the suitability of the Subsea 7 / Flowserve Multiphase Pumping System Package for installations in water depths to 1500 metres. Appreciating the potential of this emerging oil and gas market, Statoil and BP Exploration have also chosen to sponsor this JIP project.
