  • Patent number: 10480297
    Abstract: Hydrocarbon wells and methods cooperatively utilizing a gas lift assembly and an electric submersible pump, the hydrocarbon wells including a wellbore extending between a surface region and a subterranean formation, a downhole tubular defining a tubular conduit and extending within the wellbore, an electric pumping assembly, an electric power source, and a gas lift assembly. The methods include generating a pumped reservoir fluid stream, generating a gas lifted reservoir fluid stream, conveying the pumped reservoir fluid stream to a surface region via an ESP conduit, and conveying the gas lifted reservoir fluid stream to the surface region via an annular space that is distinct from the ESP conduit.
