Abstract: A system for navigating a downhole environment includes a tube body with a flexible material that is formed as a thin-walled tube and a pump that pumps pressured fluid through the tube body. The tube body has at least a section that extends along a horizontal section of a downhole environment by the flexible material pushing out under the pressured fluid. A method for navigating a downhole environment includes providing a tube body with a flexible material which is formed as a thin-walled tube, pumping a first pressure through the tube body to extend the tube body by the flexible material pushing out at tip, and controlling the flexible material to extend the tube body along a horizontal section of a downhole environment.

Abstract: A system includes a solids trap disposed in a well. The system includes an inner annulus, an outer annulus, and a chamber between the inner annulus and the outer annulus. A solids accumulation zone is formed in the chamber. A pump is fluidly connected to the solids trap. A fluid stream carrying solids flows from the pump. The fluid stream carrying solids is configured to follow a path delimited by the outer annulus and the chamber until the fluid stream deposits the solids in the solids accumulation zone and departs the solids trap via the inner annulus into a tubing.

Abstract: A method for mitigating water invasion to a submersible motor includes: forming an accumulation zone within an inner space of the submersible motor, wherein the accumulation zone is disposed at a bottom of the inner space below a motor shaft; measuring a conductivity of a fluid inside the accumulation zone using a sensor, wherein the fluid comprises water and dielectric oil; comparing the conductivity of the fluid with a threshold value; upon detecting that the conductivity of the fluid is greater than the threshold value, activating a solenoid pump to discharge the fluid from the accumulation zone to an outside of the submersible motor.

Abstract: A system includes a solids catcher that is centered with respect to a central axis of a tubing. The system includes an inner annulus, an outer annulus, and a chamber between the inner annulus and the outer annulus. A solids accumulation zone is formed in the chamber. A pump disposed offset from the central axis of the tubing. The pump is fluidly connected to the solids catcher through the outer annulus. A fluid stream carrying solids flowing from the pump. The fluid stream carrying solids is configured to follow a path delimited by the outer annulus and the chamber until the fluid stream deposits the solids in the solids accumulation zone and departs the solids catcher via the inner annulus into a tubing.

Abstract: A fluid processing system is configured for use in a wellbore in a hydrocarbon-bearing rock formation. The system includes a casing liner disposed in an open hole section of a well for providing a separation zone in a flow of materials from a first reservoir The system includes a downhole separator operatively coupled to the casing liner for separating the first material and the second material within the flow of materials. The flow of materials includes at least a first material and a second material.
