  • Patent number: 11306575
    Abstract: A reservoir production assembly for disposition within a wellbore that extends into a subterranean formation is disclosed. The reservoir production assembly includes a flow diverter including a cavity. The flow diverter defines a reservoir fluid receiver, a reservoir fluid-conducting space, a reservoir fluid discharge communicator, a gas-depleted reservoir fluid receiver, a gas-depleted reservoir fluid-conducting space, and a gas-depleted reservoir fluid discharge communicator. The reservoir production assembly includes a downhole-disposed reservoir fluid-supplying conductor for receiving the reservoir fluid from a downhole wellbore space and conducting the received reservoir fluid to the reservoir fluid receiver, and an on-off tool effecting releasable coupling of the reservoir fluid receiver of the flow diverter to the downhole-disposed reservoir fluid-supplying conductor with effect that fluid coupling of the flow diverter to the downhole-disposed reservoir fluid-supplying conductor is effected.

  • Patent number: 10711588
    Abstract: There is provided parts for assembly to produce a flow diverter configured for disposition within a wellbore. The parts include an insert-receiving part including a passageway, and a flow diverter-effecting insert configured for insertion within the passageway. The flow diverter-effecting insert is co-operatively configured with the insert-receiving part such that a flow diverter is defined while the flow diverter-effecting insert is disposed within the passageway. The flow diverter is configured for: receiving and conducting a reservoir fluid flow; discharging the received reservoir fluid flow into the wellbore such that gaseous material is separated from the discharged reservoir fluid flow within the wellbore, in response to at least buoyancy forces, such that a gas-depleted reservoir fluid flow is obtained; and receiving and conducting the obtained gas-depleted reservoir fluid flow.

  • Publication number: 20200131873
    Abstract: There is provided a connecting device includes first and second device counterparts. The first device counterpart and the second device counterpart are co-operatively configured such that: releasable coupling between the first device counterpart and the second device counterpart is effectible, while the first device counterpart is releasably coupled to the second device counterpart in a releasably coupled position: (i) displacement of the first device counterpart, relative to the second device counterpart, along an axis in a first direction, is prevented or substantially prevented; and (ii) the first device counterpart is displaceable, relative to the second device counterpart, along an axis in a second direction that is opposite, or substantially opposite, to the first direction, for effecting in release of the first device counterpart from the coupling to the second device counterpart, with effect that the first device counterpart becomes disposed in a released position.

  • Patent number: 6557639
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for pumping fluids in a wellbore. The apparatus includes a pipe string in the wellbore extending between a wellhead end and a production end, the pipe string defining an interior fluid path. A swivel device is connected into the pipe string so that an upper portion of the pipe string rotates relative to a lower portion thereof. A lower connector connects the lower portion with a stator of a rotary pump such that a fluid pumped by the pump is conducted through the interior fluid path of the pipe string. An upper connector connects the upper portion with a rotor of the rotary pump such that rotation of the upper portion rotates the rotor and thus pumps the fluid. The method includes rotatably supporting the upper portion in the wellbore at the wellhead end, connecting the lower portion with the stator, connecting the upper portion with the rotor, positioning the pump in the wellbore and rotating the upper portion in order to rotate the rotor to pump the fluid.
