Framo Engineering has won a US $200 million contract from Total E&P Angola for the supply of a subsea multiphase pumping system for the Girassol Resources Initiatives (GirRI) project.

The multiphase pump system, which will be installed in Block 17, offshore Angola at some 1,350 m (4,429 ft) water depth, will boost the rates from two production flow loops, according to a news release. The contract covers the complete system of topside power and control and two subsea pump modules. The pump system is based on the latest development of the Helico-axial technology, capable of a record differential pressure of up to 120 bar.

The system will be assembled and tested at the Framo Engineering advanced test facility at Horsoey, Norway. Delivery is planned for summer of 2014.
