An electric submersible pump assembly with integral heat exchanger, high-speed self-aligning bearings, and dual bearing thrust chamber is described. The described pump assembly, modules, and components may be used for operating an electric submersible pump at high speeds as well as over a wide range of speeds and flowrates without replacing downhole equipment. The described pump assembly may be shorter than comparable pump assemblies and may be assembled offsite, thereby leading to faster and easier installation with less down time. By operating over a wide range of speeds, the disclosed pump assembly allows the operator to reduce overall inventory, reduce down time for the well, and avoid other complications associated with replacing a pump assembly or other downhole components.

A technique facilitates movement of fluids while reducing axial loading on system components such as thrust bearings. The technique utilizes a system, e.g. a compressor, for moving fluid via counter rotating rotors. By way of example, the rotors may utilize impellers for establishing opposed fluid flows along fluid movement sections. The fluid movement sections may be arranged in a back-to-back configuration such that counter rotation of the rotors causes the impellers to move fluid flows in opposed directions, thus reducing axial loading. The opposed fluid flows ultimately are redirected to an outlet.

The mechanical shaft lock can include one or more shear pins. When an end of the shear pin, e.g., shear pin head, lines up with one or more shearing slots on the MSL or pump shaft, the shear pin engages and stops the rotation of the pump shaft and motor attached to the pump. The shaft lock can be engaged for installing an ESP, disengaged for production after installing by breaking the shear pin upon start-up, and re-engaged for removing the ESP from the wellbore. In some embodiments, the MSL may be configured to be disengaged and re-engaged to deal with well kicks.

A subsea system includes a first foundation structure supporting a first compressor train and having a connection interface for connecting to a second foundation structure supporting an additional compressor train. The first compressor train includes a first compressor having an inlet connectable via a fluid line to a well flow line. A compressed fluid line having a flow regulation device is connected to an outlet of the first compressor and to a common outlet for compressed fluid. A first connection line is connected to the compressed fluid line at a position upstream of the flow regulation device, and a third connection line is connected to the fluid line at a position upstream of the first compressor. Each of the first and third connection lines includes a flow regulating device and is configured to connect to the additional compressor train. A second connection line is connected to the compressed fluid line at a position downstream of the flow regulation device and is configured to connect to the additional compressor train to thereby connect the additional compressor train to the common outlet.

This disclosure describes various implementations of a downhole-blower system that can be used to boost production in a wellbore. The downhole-blower system includes a blower and an electric machine coupled to the blower that can be deployed in a wellbore, and that can, in cooperation, increase production through the wellbore.
