Curtiss-Wright signs subsea motor pump agreement with Shell subsidiary

Curtiss-Wright (CW) "announced that it has signed an agreement with Shell Exploration & Production Company, a subsidiary of Shell plc (SHEL), to manufacture, test, and provide operational support for an Electro-Submersible Pump for a Shell offshore platform in the Gulf of Mexico. The objective of this joint initiative is to demonstrate Curtiss-Wright’s canned motor technology as an effective and reliable alternative to current subsea pump technologies that reduces unplanned outages and production interruptions. In addition to delivering the ESP solution, a test facility, funded as part of the agreement, will be designed and constructed by Curtiss-Wright to enable full-power testing to demonstrate the 125-foot-long, fully assembled pump’s capability and performance prior to its shipment and subsea deployment."
