Flowserve to supply water pumps to Malaysian offshore project

US-based flow control products and services provider Flowserve has received orders to supply its custom-designed water injection and liquid transfer pumps to Sabah Shell Petroleum Company’s Malikai oilfield project in offshore Malaysia.

Four highly engineered variable speed drive barrel pumps of super duplex stainless steel construction will be built in accordance with ISO 13709/API 610. The company will also supply pumps for seawater lift, firewater, drain caisson, flare knockout drum, circulation and sump services.

Two WIK (BB5) multistage double case diffuser pumps will supply high-pressure deoxygenated water for well injection and a pair of HSO (BB5) multistage, double case volute pumps will transport the crude from the field to the KBB processing facility.

Flowserve will also supply six WUC (VS6) vertical, double case, multistage pumps, six Pleuger submersible pumps in super duplex materials and six HPX (OH2) single stage API process pumps for various process services.

Flowserve sales organisation president Jim Quain said that the company is proud to continue its long-term relationship with Shell in the upstream market, especially with offshore applications.

“As a world leader in meeting the changing and demanding needs of the oil and gas industry, we take pride in our ability to supply highly engineered and customised water injection and liquid transfer pumps to meet our customers’ high-pressure subsea pumping requirements,” Quain added.
