A system for extracting gas from a tectonically-deformed coal seam in-situ by depressurizing a horizontal well cavity is provided. A horizontal well is constructed by a horizontal well drilling and reaming subsystem and adjoins a vertical well to form a U-shaped well, and a horizontal section of the horizontal well is reamed to enlarge hole diameter. A horizontal well hole-collapse cavity-construction depressurization excitation subsystem performs pressure-pulse excitation and stress release on the horizontal well of tectonically-deformed coal bed methane, and hydraulically displaces a coal-liquid-gas mixture such that the mixture is conveyed towards a vertical well section along a depressurizing space. A product lifting subsystem further pulverizes the coal and lifts the mixture towards a wellhead of a vertical well. A gas-liquid-solid separation subsystem separates the coal, liquid and gas. A monitoring and control subsystem detects and controls the operation conditions and the execution processes of technical equipment in real time.

An artificial lift system has a surface pump operated by a prime mover powered by a variable speed drive. A jet pump disposed downhole in tubing receives pressurized power fluid from the surface pump, mixes the power and production fluid and delivers the product uphole. A controller disposed at surface adjusts the artificial lift system relative to a set value based on a measured discharged pressure or a measured flowrate and trends a change in the other of the measured flowrate or the measured discharged pressure over time. The controller can also trend an operating condition (intake pressure vs. production rate) to determine changes relative to cavitation conditions. Based on the trended changes, the controller initiates an operation in the artificial lift system, such as adjusting the discharge pressure, initiating an alarm condition, etc.

A jet pump of a downhole tool in a wellbore, wherein the jet pump has a nozzle in fluid communication with a throat and wherein the throat is further in fluid communication with a diffuser, the jet pump further having a central channel located towards an uphole end of the downhole tool, wherein the central channel is configured to house a volume of power fluid; a first annular channel defined in the downhole tool, wherein the first annular channel is arranged around the nozzle and in fluid communication with the central channel; a volume of production fluid located towards a downhole end of the downhole tool; a second annular channel defined in the downhole tool configured to house the volume of production fluid; and a reverse channel in fluid connection with the second annular channel, wherein the reverse channel is in fluid communication with the nozzle.

A jet pump for oil production involving extraction by hydraulic lift and consists of jet pump integrally redesigned so that it is traversed by a cable for the control of the recorders of the production variables of the oil well. This control can be performed from the surface, enabling the collection of data related to measurements such as pressure, temperature and flow, both in static conditions of the well, i.e. when the well is not pumping, and in dynamic conditions, i.e. when the well is in production, and also have the security of the recovery of recorded data and measurement tools, known by its acronym MPLT (Memory Production Logging Tools), to determine the productive status of the well and make timely decisions in the management and administration of the same.

A jet pump, a jet pump data tool system, and method of use thereof. The jet pump includes a body having an intake, a first aperture, and a second aperture between the first aperture and the intake. A carrier is seated in the body and receivable in the first aperture. The carrier includes a venturi for drawing wellbore fluid from the intake into the venturi. A housing for a data tool extends from the carrier. The housing is in fluid communication with the intake for allowing wellbore fluid to be exposed to the data tool. The carrier is seatable in the body by flowing power fluid and the carrier into the first aperture. The carrier is retrievable from the body by flowing power fluid into the second aperture.

An artificial lift system including a tubular extending into a wellbore. The tubular includes a first end arranged at a surface of a formation, a second end terminating in the wellbore, and an intermediate portion. The intermediate portion includes a plurality of gas lift valves. A jet pump is fluidically connected to the second end of the tubular. A liquid supply conduit includes a terminal end arranged at the first end of the tubular and a gas supply conduit includes a terminal end portion arranged at the first end of the tubular.

A pump system includes a centrifugal pump having an impeller, a first inlet arranged to receive a first flow of liquid, a second inlet arranged to receive a flow of gas at a first pressure, the gas being soluble in the liquid, and an outlet arranged to discharge a second flow of liquid that contains the flow of gas solubilized therein. An injection pump has an inlet arranged to receive the second flow of liquid. The injection pump is operable to increase the pressure of the second flow of liquid to produce a high-pressure flow of liquid, and includes a discharge arranged to discharge the high-pressure flow of liquid.

A system and a method for producing fluids from a subterranean well are provided. More specifically, a pumping system and a method operative to utilize at least two downhole pump assemblies to produce hydrocarbons from at least two locations of a subterranean reservoir is provided, the pump assemblies being controllably adjusted to synergistically provide uniform drawn down from the wellbore.

A hydraulically driven underwater pumping system may include a pumping module connected to a subsea base. The subsea base may be connected to: a subsea producing well via a production line that carries the fluid produced by the subsea producing well; and a production unit via a riser and a service line. The hydraulically driven underwater pumping system may receive working fluid from the production unit via the service line. Additionally, a pump, located in the pumping module, may be driven hydraulically by the working fluid and pump the fluid produced by the subsea producing well to the production unit. The hydraulically driven underwater pumping system may mix the working fluid, after being used to drive the pump, with the fluid produced by the subsea producing well that is pumped to the production unit.

A jet pump comprising a pump housing containing a jet nozzle and a throat diffuser nozzle. The jet nozzle is comprised of a jet nozzle insert disposed in an axial inner bore of a precision jet cylindrical body and formed of an ultra-hard material. The throat diffuser nozzle is comprised of a throat diffuser nozzle insert disposed in an axial inner bore of a precision throat diffuser cylindrical body and also formed of an ultra-hard material. The jet nozzle and throat diffuser nozzle are disposed in an elongated cylindrical central bore portion of a tubular side wall of the pump housing. In order to achieve highest concentricity of the axial inner bores, the axial inner bore of the jet nozzle insert and the axial inner bore of the throat diffuser nozzle insert are formed after placement in the precision cylindrical bodies.
