Shell selects Sulzer/FMC subsea pump technology

The mudline pump fits into an existing infrastructure with minor and cost-efficient modifications, and is smaller and lighter than the pump it replaces.

The subsea pump will be manufactured from a global supply chain with a large amount of assembly and testing conducted at Sulzer’s facilities in the UK.

This first subsea pump for Shell from FMC Technologies and Sulzer will be launched in the field in 2017.
