VASPS Prototype in Marimba Field - Workover and Restart

The vertical annular separation and pumping system (VASPS) represents an innovative concept for subsea gas/oil separation and pumping. A prototype was installed in 2001 in the Marimba field in the Campos basin. The full-length paper presents the second operational phase of the prototype after a successful rig intervention to change a damaged electrical submersible pump (ESP).
