FMC Technologies, Inc. will provide subsea multiphase boosting pumps, manifolds, and installation support services for Eni Angola's Block 15/06 West Hub Development Project located off the coast of Angola.

The company's subsea multiphase boosting pumps improve production economics by reducing backpressure on the reservoir, increasing flow rates and total recoverable reserves. Multiphase pumps have a wide operating envelope and are suitable for a broad range of conditions.

"This is our second award for our new subsea multiphase boosting system and we are confident that this technology will be a critical and important part in supporting increased deepwater field recovery," said Tore Halvorsen, Senior Vice President of Subsea Technologies at FMC Technologies.
