Forged and fully fabricated barrel casing weighing 10,000 kg for the world’s largest injection pump. |
In November 2001, the Azerbaijan International Oil Company (AIOC) awarded contracts for the injection pumps for its Azeri-Chirag-Guneshli Full Field Development programme. Along with the associated Baku–Tbilisi–Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline, these projects are probably the world’s largest oil and gas developments today. AIOC invited three potential pump vendors to bid for the pump design and – after extensive evaluation – selected Sulzer Pumps Ltd. to manufacture, package and string-test these significant pump packages. |
