Method and apparatus for producing well fluids
11634975 · 2023-04-25 · ·

A method of producing fluid from a wellbore includes operating a pump located proximate to a zone of fluid influx in the wellbore to draw a reservoir fluid from a reservoir into the wellbore at the zone of fluid influx. The pump is coupled to a tubing string extending above the pump, and a packer is coupled to the tubing string proximate to an upper end of the zone of fluid influx and seals an annular space around the tubing string. The method includes operating the pump to produce the reservoir fluid from the wellbore through the tubing string. A pump includes a drive chamber with a drive piston, a production chamber with a production piston coupled to the drive piston, and axially separated traveling valves.

Surge reduction system for running liner casing in managed pressure drilling wells

A system for controlling surge pressure and deployed into a wellbore drilled using a managed pressure drilling technique includes auto-fill float equipment allowing flow into a liner casing string, a drillpipe diverter providing a flow path between a drillpipe landing string and an annulus, and a drillpipe flow restrictor selectively blocking the flow path from the top of the drillpipe landing string while allowing fluid to be displaced up the liner casing string and into the annulus. The drillpipe flow restrictor and the drillpipe diverter are convertible to provide a flow path from the wellbore through the auto-fill float equipment to a top surface while blocking flow through the diverter into the annulus. The auto-fill float equipment is convertible to block the flow path from the wellbore into the liner casing string, while allowing fluid to flow from the liner casing string into the wellbore.
