Abstract: A first platform is mounted to a central riser that is configured to flow a fluid into or out of a wellbore. The central riser is fluidically and structurally attached to a wellhead. The first platform is positioned relative to the central riser to allow access to substantially all external portions of the central riser from the first platform. A second platform is positioned above and supported by the first platform. The first platform is positioned between the second platform and the wellhead. The second platform is movable relative to the first platform.

Abstract: Examples of fiber reinforced and powered coil tubing include a hollow fiber reinforced composite coiled tubing with a tubing wall having an inner surface, an outer surface and a wall thickness. The inner surface is formed to prevent absorption of fluids flowed through the coiled tubing to the tubing wall. The tubing can connect a power source at a surface of a wellbore to downhole equipment positioned within the wellbore. An electrical power conductor is embedded in the tubing wall. The conductor can transfer power from the power source to the downhole equipment. The tubing can be used to lower, install and remove downhole equipment into the wellbore without a work-over rig. The downhole equipment can be operated by transmitted power through the electrical power conductor.

Abstract: Systems and methods for removing fluid from a subterranean well with a fluid removal system includes lowering an elongated member into tubing of the subterranean well to a lower position, the elongated tubing having a plunger or valve body located at an end, wherein fluid passes past the plunger or through a valve opening as the valve body moves into the subterranean well. The plunger or valve body is moved in a direction out of the subterranean well so that fluid cannot pass the plunger or through the valve opening, moving the fluid out of the subterranean well.

Abstract: A pressure regulator is configured to manage a pressure downstream of a pump discharge during operation. A hydraulic piston is exposed to pressure upstream of the pressure regulator during operation. The hydraulic piston extends into a first fluid reservoir. The first fluid reservoir is defined by an inner surface of an outer housing of a subsurface safety valve. A subsurface safety valve is fluidically couple to the hydraulic piston.

Abstract: A gravel pack tool for use in a well including a base pipe selectively deployed in the well that defines an outer annulus between the base pipe and an inner wall of the well, a dissolvable plug in a side wall of the base pipe, and tubing positioned within the base pipe that is in selective communication with a source of a bead forming fluid. When the bead forming fluid flows through the tubular and into the well, compounds in the bead forming fluid react to form beads within the outer annulus. The beads collect along a screen that circumscribes the base pipe and define a gravel pack which through which formation fluid is directed prior to entering production tubing in the wellbore.

Abstract: A safety valve system for a subterranean well includes a central body with a central body profile and a supporting body having a supporting profile shaped to support the central body profile. An outer diameter seal circumscribes the central body to seal between the central body and the supporting body. An inner diameter seal is located within a central bore of the central body to form a seal between the central bore of the central body and a cable that extends through the central bore. An annular fluid flow path extends through the safety valve system axially past the outer diameter seal and the inner diameter seal. A valve assembly is moveable between an open position where fluid can flow through the annular fluid flow path, and a closed position where fluid is prevented from flowing through the annular fluid flow path.

Abstract: A method for providing artificial lift with an electric submersible pump system includes providing an electric submersible pump system having a motor, a pump assembly, a seal assembly, and a shaft assembly extending along a central axis from the motor to the pump assembly. The pump assembly includes two or more pump sections and a coupling with a transmission mechanism is located between the two or more pump sections. The motor rotates a motor shaft segment of the shaft assembly that is in engagement with a first pump section and starts the first pump section. One of the transmission mechanisms is moved from a disengaged position to an engaged position where the coupling conveys the rotation of the motor shaft segment to the adjacent shaft segment and starts another of the two or more pump sections.

Abstract: An assembly for circulating tool fluid of a downhole tool includes a tool fluid source line extending into a subterranean well from a wellhead spool assembly to the downhole tool. A tool fluid return line extends out of the subterranean well from the downhole tool to the wellhead spool assembly. A tool fluid reservoir is located at a surface outside of the subterranean well. The tool fluid source line is in one way fluid communication with the tool fluid reservoir and the tool fluid is free of fluid communication with wellbore fluids.

Abstract: A method and system for treating a hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir with a DOWS system includes forming a first and a second DOWS system wells that fluidly communicate with both a first and second hydrocarbon-bearing formation. The first well has an upflowing DOWS unit and the second well has a downflowing DOWS unit. The DOWS units separate production fluid into a water-rich fluid and a hydrocarbon-rich fluid that passes to the surface. Both wells have an injection zone and a production zone. The DOWS system is operated such that water-rich fluid from the first DOWS well is introduced into the first hydrocarbon-bearing formation, water-rich fluid from the second DOWS well is introduced into the second hydrocarbon-bearing formation, production fluid from the second hydrocarbon-bearing formation is introduced into the first DOWS well, and production fluid from the first hydrocarbon-bearing formation is introduced into the second DOWS well.

Abstract: A system and method for producing fluid from a subterranean wellbore that includes an electrical submersible pump (“ESP”) system and a receptacle. The ESP system is landed in the receptacle while sensing the presence of the ESP system with respect to the receptacle. The ESP system includes a motor, a pump, a monitoring sub, and a stinger on the lower end of the pump. A sensor on the receptacle detects the position of the stinger within the receptacle, and provides an indication that the stinger has inserted a designated length into the receptacle so that a fluid tight seal is formed between the stinger and receptacle.
