BP successful started the world's deepest subsea multi-phase pump project, a breakthrough in application of a technology with the potential to increase recovery of oil from deepwater fields.
Installation of two sub sea pumps and associated equipment at the King field on Mississippi Canyon Block 84 in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico set a double world record, for both depth and distance. At 5,500 feet (1,676 m) below the sea's surface, the King facilities are in water almost twice as deep as the previous deepest installation of multi-phase pumps in 3,000 feet (914 m) of water. The pumps are also positioned over 15 miles (24 km) from the Marlin tension leg platform on Viosca Knoll Block 915. The distance is well over twice the previous record distance from a host platform of six miles (10 km). BP is 100 percent owner and operator of King. The two pumps will enhance production from the King field by an average of 20 percent.
