Abstract: An apparatus including a sealing device for sealing a wellbore, a first pump for pumping fluids from a lower wellbore section, a pump drive powered using wellbore gas, a gas inlet for supplying the pump drive with wellbore gas, and a gas outlet for exhausting wellbore gas to an upper wellbore section from the pump drive. The apparatus may further include a second pump for pumping fluids from the upper wellbore section into the lower wellbore section, a vent for venting wellbore gas to the upper wellbore section, and a switch for controlling the pump drive. A method for moving fluids in a wellbore including sealing the wellbore, supplying wellbore gas to a pump drive and driving a first pump with the pump drive. The method may further include driving a second pump with the pump drive and venting the wellbore gas to an upper wellbore section.
