This also offers an economically viable means for conventional subsea tie backs to enable development of stranded marginal fields to local facilities.Recently executed study; Evaluation of subsea boosting technology to tie back a marginal field to the Gjøa semi-submersible production facility. The study involved building an IPM model, RAM study economic analysis and cost benefit analysis. The results demonstrated Subsea Multiphase Pump technology could extend production by 6 years and significantly increase oil and gas recovery rates from the reservoir.
