Curtiss-Wright and Saipem Achieve New Subsea Processing Milestone

July 29, 2024

DAVIDSON, N.C. – Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE: CW) and Saipem have reached a significant milestone for the subsea applications industry: the completion of the qualification process of an all-electric seabed barrier fluid-less pump. Developed based on proprietary solutions inherited from the nuclear sector, this unprecedented technology will enable the subsea injection of treated sea water into a reservoir, thus extending the lifecycle of subsea fields.

While the conventional pumping system features a barrier fluid which serves as coolant, lubricant and insulation, the technology developed by Saipem and Curtiss-Wright is based instead on an innovative design whereby the subsea pump is cooled and lubricated by the sea water itself, while the motor is protected by a canned casing suitable for deepwater applications. The absence of the barrier fluid avoids the need for its constant replenishment and the risk of sea water contamination. Furthermore, due to Saipem’s “all-electric” strategy, the technology allows the replacement of conventional hydraulic umbilicals with power/control cables, thus reducing costs. This pump is the first seal-less, barrier fluid-less subsea pump with such high power.

In 2018, Curtiss-Wright and Saipem signed an exclusive collaboration agreement to develop this new technology: a 3 MW full-scale prototype has been manufactured and tested in water through an extensive specific program, which eventually confirmed the expected performance, robustness, and reliability.

This new solution is certified for several Saipem-proprietary subsea treatment technologies, including SPRINGS®, the subsea desulfation technology owned by Saipem, TotalEnergies, and Veolia.

This certification represents a fundamental goal as it validates the achievement of Technology Readiness Level 4 (TRL 4) as witnessed and endorsed by Petrobras and TotalEnergies and it marks the commencement of the relevant commercialization on a global scale.

With this milestone, Saipem confirms its investments in innovative solutions available as industrialized products to extend the life of assets in the subsea sector and to make offshore operations increasingly safe, sustainable and convenient.

Curtiss-Wright Signs Subsea Seal-Less Canned Motor Boosting System Agreement With Petrobras

February 12, 2024

Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE: CW) today announced that it has signed a Technology Cooperation Agreement with PETRÓLEO BRASILEIRO S.A. – PETROBRAS (NYSE: PBR) to design, manufacture, test, and provide operational support for a Subsea Canned Motor Boosting System, to be deployed mudline at a Petrobras production field in the Campos Basin, Brazil.

Curtiss-Wright is working jointly with Petrobras to develop a subsea boosting system for unprocessed hydrocarbon fluid consisting of a mixture of oil, gas and particulates that will operate at a 1,500-meter water depth. The system will leverage Curtiss-Wright’s canned motor technology, as well as Petrobras’ expertise in flow assurance and offshore hydrocarbon production and processing, to ensure the subsea boosting system will perform according to field requirements. Further, it is expected to serve as an effective and reliable alternative to current subsea pump technologies by reducing unplanned outages and production interruptions.

“We are excited to be working collaboratively with a leading technology developer and experienced end-user of downhole pumping and mudline boosting systems for demanding applications,” said Lynn M.
