Long-life high-pressure pumps FMC Technologies’ 2400-hp Triplex and 2700-hp Quintuplex Well Service Pump models are high-pressure pumps capable of delivering flowrates up to 50 bbl/min. at pressures up to 20,000 psi. Both models are designed with 250,000-lb rod load. The pumps have been successfully tested 1 million total test cycles at full rod load, a testing procedure that no other pump manufacturer has completed before. Design improvements, developed with the help of key fluid control customers during the initial phases of the project, allow end users to operate the pumps at slower speeds than competitive models. As a result, they generate significantly less wear on critical components, extending service life and reducing total life-cycle cost. Subsea remote intervention torque tool Mako DeepWater, a Houston-based subsea remote intervention service, has introduced the Tiger Shark torque tool. Recognizing that about 50% of all current industry field personnel have less than five years of experience, the tool was developed with a focus on simplicity and reliability.
