Live well staged installation of wet connected ESP and related method

摘要

An ESP assembly is broken into subassemblies to fit through a lubricator for live well deployment. A lifting device has a shaft transmission feature and associated housing rotational lock for use at the top of the first subassembly and to be left in position for engagement of the next assembly. The subassemblies can be delivered on wireline or slickline. A wet connect can be at the lower end of the initial subassembly to connect to a cable run alongside the production tubing. The ESP subassemblies all are interconnected in the live well and function as they would if assembled at the surface. The ability to break down the assembly and run it in segments lets the components fit through a length limited lubricator for live well deployment.
