A subsea pumping apparatus configured to be in fluid communication with a hydraulically actuated device of a blowout preventer, the subsea pumping apparatus comprising: a first subsea pump having a first inlet and a first outlet; a second subsea pump having a second inlet and a second outlet; a motor configured to actuate at least one of the first and second pumps to communicate a hydraulic fluid from the inlet to the outlet of the at least one of the first and second pumps, the hydraulic fluid exiting the first outlet having a first flow rate and a first pressure; a valve in fluid communication with the first outlet and configured to selectively route: when the valve is in a first position, the hydraulic fluid from the first outlet to a location selected from the group consisting of a subsea environment, a reservoir, and the second inlet,, the second inlet having a second pressure which is lower than the first pressure; and when the valve is in a second position, the hydraulic fluid from the first outlet to the hydraulically actuated device and not to the location; and a control circuit including: a valve controller in electrical communication with the valve and configured to adjust an output of the first pump by selectively varying the position of the valve between the first position and the second position; the apparatus further comprising a sensor configured to capture data indicative of at least one of the first flow rate or the first pressure, thereby permitting the valve controller to vary the position of the valve based on the captured data. a first subsea pump having a first inlet and a first outlet; a second subsea pump having a second inlet and a second outlet; a motor configured to actuate at least one of the first and second pumps to communicate a hydraulic fluid from the inlet to the outlet of the at least one of the first and second pumps, the hydraulic fluid exiting the first outlet having a first flow rate and a first pressure; a valve in fluid communication with the first outlet and configured to selectively route: when the valve is in a first position, the hydraulic fluid from the first outlet to a location selected from the group consisting of a subsea environment, a reservoir, and the second inlet,, the second inlet having a second pressure which is lower than the first pressure; and when the valve is in a second position, the hydraulic fluid from the first outlet to the hydraulically actuated device and not to the location; and when the valve is in a first position, the hydraulic fluid from the first outlet to a location selected from the group consisting of a subsea environment, a reservoir, and the second inlet,, the second inlet having a second pressure which is lower than the first pressure; and when the valve is in a second position, the hydraulic fluid from the first outlet to the hydraulically actuated device and not to the location; and a control circuit including: a valve controller in electrical communication with the valve and configured to adjust an output of the first pump by selectively varying the position of the valve between the first position and the second position; the apparatus further comprising a sensor configured to capture data indicative of at least one of the first flow rate or the first pressure, thereby permitting the valve controller to vary the position of the valve based on the captured data. a valve controller in electrical communication with the valve and configured to adjust an output of the first pump by selectively varying the position of the valve between the first position and the second position; the apparatus further comprising a sensor configured to capture data indicative of at least one of the first flow rate or the first pressure, thereby permitting the valve controller to vary the position of the valve based on the captured data.
