The 2500 kW subsea motor is the first of three ordered by Aker Kvaerner Subsea, a provider of surface and subsea solutions for the oil and gas industry, to drive their seawater injection pumps on the Statoil Hydro Tyrihans project in the Norwegian Sea. The motors have been developed in close cooperation with Aker Kvaerner Subsea. The qualified Hayward Tyler design for the 2500 kW variable speed, super synchronous motor will operate at speeds ranging from 2500 to 4000 rpm.
