Abstract: A technique is provided for pumping fluids in a subterranean wellbore. A submersible pumping system can be deployed in a wellbore for moving desired fluids within the wellbore. The pumping system energizes the desired fluid movement by reciprocating a working fluid between expandable members.
Abstract: A method and apparatus comprises a filter receiving an input voltage signal from a drive circuit, and a filter producing an output voltage signal with reduced resonance and transients. The amplitude of the output voltage signal is boosted using the filter.
Abstract: The claimed invention relates to the downhole systems for extracting various fluids, in particular—for simultaneous extraction out of a number of producing formations. The inventive downhole system comprises a casing pipe and a tubing extending through said casing pipe, between which pipe and tubing formed are separate isolated cavities. Each one of which cavities communicates, via perforations, with a respective producing formation. In each one of the isolated cavities, to the tubing coupled is a hydraulic machine comprised by a motor and pump. The hydraulic machines in different isolated cavities being adapted to be adjusted independently. This system permits simultaneous extraction of fluids out of different producing formations, with independent controlling of such extraction in various formations. The claimed invention also relates to an immersion hydraulic machine used for extracting fluids.
Abstract: Power and control logic configurations for gas well dewatering systems are provided. In one example, a reservoir is configured to contain hydraulic, lubricating fluid. An electric motor is configured to receive fluid from the reservoir for lubrication and a hydraulic pump powered by the electric motor is configured to receive fluid from the reservoir and pump the fluid into a hydraulic circuit. A positive displacement oscillating pump is powered by the hydraulic pump and configured to pump fluid from the reservoir to an outlet from the well. The electric motor and hydraulic pump receive the same fluid from the reservoir for lubrication and to create pressure in the hydraulic circuit, respectively.
