  • Patent number: 11485221
    Abstract: A universal fuel-supply assembly is adaptable during manufacturing to be made for use with one of multiple different fuel types (e.g., gasoline or diesel fuel). A method for assembling a fuel-supply assembly includes providing a plate structure configured to be secured to a fuel tank. The plate structure has multiple bosses. According to one example, the method determines whether the fuel-supply assembly is for use as a diesel fuel-supply assembly or as a gasoline fuel-supply assembly. The method provides an opening through one of two different bosses that communicates with both the top side and the bottom side of the plate structure depending on whether the fuel-supply assembly is for use as a diesel fuel-supply assembly or a gasoline fuel-supply assembly.

  • Patent number: 11391096
    Abstract: An electric submersible pump used to pump fluids inside a borehole during operation is described. The electric submersible pump and its motor can be powered using an inductive power coupling. The electric submersible pump comprises a sealed extension that houses a pickup inductive coil assembly that is electrically coupled to a power source at a surface of the borehole. Power runs through the primary inductive coil assembly and the primary inductive coil is positioned relative to the pickup inductive coil assembly such that the electrical current flowing in the primary inductive coil assembly from the power source and through the power cable induces a voltage in the pickup inductive coil assembly.

  • Publication number: 20220003240
    Abstract: An electric submersible pump includes a pump, an electric motor that is coupled to the pump by a rotatable shaft, a seal section that is positioned between the pump and the electric motor. The seal section contains an additive and a motor oil for the electric motor. The additive includes one or more superabsorbent polymers or imidate salts to contact the motor oil and to react with a wellbore fluid from a wellbore to prevent premature failure of the electric submersible pump from the wellbore fluid contamination of the motor oil.

  • Publication number: 20220003088
    Abstract: An electric submersible pump includes a pump and an electric motor coupled to the pump. An electric submersible pump also includes a seal that is positioned between the pump and the electric motor. The seal has an outer housing and a seal bag internal to the outer housing. The seal bag has an outer layer and an inner layer. The outer layer is made from a first material to maintain the structure of the seal bag in a swellable state within the wellbore environment. The inner layer is made from a second material that can swell in response to contact with a polar substance and seal a tear in the outer layer of the seal bag.
