Subsea cables experience corrosion and scouring effects from underwater mechanical forces generated by tides, currents, seabed conditions. More than 50% of subsea faults over a 15-year period are caused by armor abrasion, armor corrosion and Third-Party Damage (fishing, anchors, ship contact).
To ensure and to boost the flow, a high-rate pumping system can be connected, as to convey the captured fluid through a flexible flowline to a tanker placed at a safe distance from the incident well.
