Houston-based ConocoPhillips has joined a Joint Industry Project (JIP) formed to revolutionize pumps for seabed and unmanned platforms. Equinor, Lundin, NOV and Aker BP are already working on the project. The JIP has received a 14 million Norwegian Krone from the Research Council of Norway’s “Demo2000” program. The project aims at bringing FSubsea’s Omnirise single-phase booster to market by mid-2019, which would be a substitution to conventional pump systems.
