The discovery and exploitation of oilfields adjacent to the coast of the UK is having a profound influence upon the commitments of the British Engineering Industry. The pump industry is playing a major role in winning these new energy resources by supplying equipment to meet oil transfer, coastal loading, water flood and other related service duties. Offshore applications demand that equipment outages are held to a minimum. Machines generating high heads per stage, and delivery of relatively high pressures require careful material selection procedures and effective quality control at every stage of production from design to commissioning. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the factors to be considered when designing and supplying pumping equipment for offshore application by taking the example of the Main Oil Line Pumps to be supplied by the author's company to Chevron Petroleum (UK) Limited, for the Ninian Oilfield Project.
