A method of unloading a well using a modular adapter 40 having a pump 50, a pump suction line 48, and a pump discharge line 52. The modular adapter 40 is connected to a subsea wellhead assembly 20 so that the pump suction line 48 communicates with a main bore 30 in the wellhead assembly 22 and the pump discharge line 52 communicates with a production line 37 attached to the wellhead assembly 22. The production line 37 is isolated from the main bore 30 and the pump 50 draws fluid from within the well and discharges it into the production line 37. After unloading the well, the adapter 40 can be removed and moved to another location for well unloading. |
