Abstract: A marine vessel may be configured with a water pump and seawater treatment equipment for use in providing a marine vessel water pumping platform for pumping water into a subsea reservoir to help maintain or increase pressure to assist with producing oil and/or natural gas. The marine vessel water pumping platform allows for the pump and seawater treatment equipment to be continuously used for pumping operations as the marine vessel may be moved between subsea reservoir sites, which helps reduce maintenance costs. The water pump may be lower in minimal flow capacity than water pumps on platforms, thereby allowing for more diversity in supporting different oil and/or gas pumping in offshore drilling operations.
