Abstract

Systems and methods are described that allow for pressure boosting of liquids in a hydrocarbon gas-liquid separator disposed at seabed. The separator can include an upper section and a lower section, which are fluidly coupled via at least one conduit. A first pump can be coupled to the separator that is configured to boost the pressure level of liquid in the lower section while the separator is disposed at seabed.
