  • Publication number: 20220341299
    Abstract: There is provided a flow diverter for coupling to a reservoir fluid conductor, a gas-depleted reservoir fluid conductor, and a sealed interface effector for establishing a production assembly configured for disposition in a production effective orientation within a wellbore string of a wellbore, extending into a subterranean formation, for effecting production from the subterranean formation. The flow diverter includes a body and a body co-operator. The body co-operator is joined to the body at a joint with effect that at least a portion of the intermediate passage-defining outermost surface of the flow diverter is defined by the outermost surface of the body co-operator.

  • Publication number: 20200256179
    Abstract: A reservoir fluid production system for producing reservoir fluid from a subterranean formation is provided for mitigating gas interference by effecting downhole separation of a gaseous phase from reservoir fluids, and also mitigating the adverse effects of solid particulate matter that is entrained within the reservoir fluids by effecting downhole separation of the solid particulate matter from the reservoir fluids.

  • Publication number: 20200240254
    Abstract: A reservoir fluid conducting system for use within a wellbore is disclosed. The system includes a flow diverter fluidly coupled to downhole disposed conductor and a pump fluidly coupled to the flow diverter. The flow diverter includes a flow diverter body that defines a reservoir fluid receiving space and a gas-depleted reservoir fluid receiving space separated and fluidly isolated from the reservoir fluid receiving space. In use, reservoir fluid is received within the reservoir fluid receiving space and conducted uphole to a reservoir fluid separation space via the flow diverter where, within the reservoir fluid separation space, a gas-depleted reservoir fluid is obtained and collects within the gas-depleted reservoir fluid receiving space. The pump is disposed in fluid communication with the gas-depleted reservoir fluid separation space such that the gas-depleted reservoir fluid is pressurized by the pump and conducted to the surface via a gas-depleted reservoir fluid-producing conductor.

  • Patent number: 10597993
    Abstract: There is provided apparati and systems for producing hydrocarbons from a subterranean formation, when reservoir pressure within the subterranean formation is insufficient to conduct hydrocarbons to the surface through a wellbore. The apparati and systems utilize a downhole pump and, in some cases, combine a downhole pump with a gas lift apparatus, in order to effect artificial lift of the hydrocarbons.
