Abstract: A device and method for inhibiting particle (e.g., sand) accumulation on down hole equipment, such as an ESP, particularly when the equipment is not in use. The device and methods permit the equipment to start and stop with fewer break downs and at greater efficiency. The device includes a central tubular section connecting the equipment to the production tubing string. The tubular section is surrounded by an annulus and a number of ports in the tubular section angled to allow fluid communication between the tubular section and the annulus during operation, but prevent particles from flowing from the annulus into the tubular section when not in use. A check valve between the tube and ESP assists in isolating the ESP from sand.

Abstract: A method of inserting a downhole assembly into a live wellbore, includes: assembling a pressure control assembly (PCA) onto a production tree of the live wellbore; inserting a first deployment section of the downhole assembly into a lubricator; landing the lubricator onto the PCA; connecting the lubricator to the PCA; lowering the first deployment section into the PCA; engaging a clamp of the PCA with the first deployment section; after engaging the clamp, isolating an upper portion of the PCA from a lower portion of the PCA; and after isolating the PCA, removing the lubricator from the PCA.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to cable deployed downhole tubular clean out system. In one embodiment, a method of cleaning a tubular string disposed in a wellbore includes connecting a cable to a BHA. The BHA includes a motor and a cleaner. The method further includes supplying a power signal to the BHA through the cable, thereby operating the motor to rotate the cleaner; deploying the BHA into the tubular string and the wellbore using the cable; and cleaning a deposit from an inner surface of the tubular string using the rotating cleaner.
