Abstract: An artificial lift assembly and method relating thereto where a sleeve system is disposed above an electrical submersible pump. The sleeve system has a sliding sleeve at least partially carried within a ported case. The sliding sleeve blocks fluid flow through ports in the ported case. The sliding sleeve is restricted from movement relative to the ported case until a first predetermined pressure is applied to the sliding sleeve. Subsequent to the operating the electrical submersible pump, a plug is introduced to the sliding sleeve so as to block fluid flow through the sliding sleeve, Subsequent to introducing the plug, fluid pressure above the plug is increased until the sliding sleeve moves relative to the ported case such that fluid flow is allowed through the ports. Thereafter removing the artificial lift assembly from the wellbore.

Abstract: An artificial lift assembly and method relating thereto is designed to prevent inadvertent electrical discharge caused by fluids flowing through an electrical submersible pumping system, which is part of the assembly. The assembly uses a rupture disc to prevent fluid flow during introduction of the assembly into a wellbore and a dart and sleeve to prevent fluid flow during removal of the assembly from the wellbore.
