The project recently received a financial boost through a tie-up with National Oilwell Varco and Innovation Norway, bringing total funding to Nkr50 million ($6.1 million) from partners for development of the pump’s core Hydromag technology.

Furthermore, UK player Hayward Tyler has agreed to supply a fully qualified subsea motor as part of the qualification process for the technology prior to offshore testing, while Germany’s Voith Turbo is providing the torque converter for the Omnirise pump’s hydrodynamic variable speed drive.
