| dc.description.abstract | For the “Thunder Horse” oil field, injection pressures above 550 bar (8000 psi) are required. The highest injection pressures realized up to now with centrifugal pumps were around 350 bar (5100 psi). To minimize to considerable risk of using unproven new technology, the oil companies involved decided to fund an initial feasibility study with several pump manufacturers to determine the best possible solution with the least technical risk. After a thorough evaluation of the various designs, a first full scale prototype pump was ordered, built, and tested. All designs were verified by extensive testing of the first executed pump. The tests confirmed the suitability of the design, rotordynamic integrity, and the accuracy of the hydraulic performance. | en |
