Abstract:
A control device for regulating flow of fluid selectively with respect to two passages of a completion tool positioned within well bore tubing, comprising:said completion tool having a first passage in which an electrical submersible pump is positioned to pump fluid through said first passage to a surface portion of said completion tool through which said fluid passes to said well bore tubing and to a surface end thereof; said completion tool having a second passage connected to said surface portion of said completion tool which second passage bypasses said first passage and said pump; and a valve having an electric motor for selectively closing said second passage to fluid flow therethrough when said pump is pumping fluid through said first passage to said surface portion and simultaneously opening said first passage to fluid flow therethrough, and opening said second passage to fluid flow therethrough when said pump is not pumping said fluid and simultaneously closing said first passage to fluid flow therethrough, whereby said pump may be bypassed through said open second passage to gain access to the well bore tubing below said pump.
