"Subsea processing and boosting is a main target area for us," says Ian Calder, Vetco Gray's vice president for power and processes.
Understandably the company does not let the world forget that it was at the centre of the pioneering Troll pilot project off Norway for subsea gravity separation and re-injection of produced water, installed as long ago as 1999.
After early teething troubles, in particular with power supply, this has been in full-scale operation since 2001, capable of handling up to 63,000 barrels per day.
