Petrobras (PBR) to Develop Advanced Subsea Pumping Technology

The partnership has decided to use hermetically sealed (canned) motors instead of traditional mechanical seals for the subsea pumping motors. This should significantly increase the efficiency and reliability of the pumping system. Increased reliability means fewer unplanned disruptions, thereby reducing subsequent production losses for the company. Additionally, these subsea pumping motors can extract a mixture of raw oil and gas from water depths of up to 4,921 feet. Subsea pumping systems are useful in pu ...
