Aker Kvaerner Subsea has been awarded a NOK 220 million contract for two subsea pump stations for use at the King field in the Gulf of Mexico. The installation will set a new world record by applying this technology in deep water and more than 29km from the platform. The contract comprises delivery of two complete subsea pump stations of the twin screw type, plus one spare pump to be installed at BP’s King field in the Gulf of Mexico in 2007. The engineering, procurement and construction contract will include modules with manifolds, variable speed drives, topside and subsea control systems, topside lube oil hydraulic power unit and high voltage connectors and jumpers. The subsea pumping system will be located in the King field complex, which ties in to the Marlin tension leg platform in the Gulf of Mexico. King is an oil field located 29km away from the Marlin TLP in water depths ranging from 1500m to 170m. The pump station system will be manufactured at Aker Kvaerner Subsea’s facility in Tranby, Norway.
