Abstract

Systems are described for raising production fluid from a source (1) on the seabed comprising a riser (4) having a first, lower, end for connection or connected to the source; a top end support for supporting the riser at or in the vicinity of the sea surface; and an operating device (11) mounted inside the riser (4) for displacement within the riser so that the pump is accessible to an operator for replacement or repair. The operating device (11) may be displaced on a pipe (12) which extends within the riser (4) and to a lower end of which the device (11) is attached. The device (11) may be inter alia an electric pump, a hydraulic pump, a gas injector, a heater or a cleaning device.
