Claim 14:
15. A method comprising:
connecting, by a shaft coupler, a propeller shaft of a control valve assembly and a shaft of an electric submersible pump assembly;
rotating a propeller by a fluid travelling upwards towards a surface location upon activation of a pump of the electric submersible pump assembly, thereby thrusting the propeller shaft axially downhole along a central axis;
aligning ports of a flow tube and an entrance of a stinger, thereby permitting fluid communication between the flow tube and the stinger;
receiving the fluid through the entrance of the stinger;
venting the fluid through an exit of the stinger to a pump intake of the electric submersible pump assembly;
venting, by a pump discharge of the electric submersible pump assembly, the fluid to a surface location subsequent to receiving the fluid through the pump intake; and
sliding, by a spring, the propeller shaft upon deactivation of the pump, thereby misaligning the ports of the flow tube and the entrance of the stinger.
