Method for providing rotational power in a subsea environment

摘要

A technique facilitates the pumping of fluids in a subsea environment. A pumping system is formed by combining a submersible pump with a permanent magnet motor to power the submersible pump. The pumping system is positioned in cooperation with a subsea structure to improve the fluid flow and the functionality of the system in specific applications.

1. A method, comprising:
determining an outside diameter and a length of a section of a tubing of a subsea hydrocarbon flow structure; substituting a section of the tubing with an axial pumping system comprising a synchronous permanent magnet motor axially connected to a pump and having an outside diameter suitable for connecting inline with the tubing; and initiating operation of the synchronous permanent magnet motor for boosting a flow through the tubing.
