Abstract:
1. An apparatus for producing fluid through a tubing string within a well, comprising: a tubular assembly adapted to be secured to the lower end of the tubing string and lowered into the well with the tubing string; an electrical and hydraulic wet connector receptacle located in the tubular assembly; an electrical power cable adapted to be fastened to the outside of the tubing string and running from a power source outside the well and connecting to an electrical connection on the wet connector receptacle; an exterior hydraulic line adapted to be fastened to the outside of the tubing string and running from a hydraulic fluid source outside the well and connecting to a hydraulic connection on the wet connector receptacle; a through tubing assembly for lowering into the tubing string; an electrical submersible pump and motor comprising part of the through tubing assembly, the through tubing assembly having a stinger with electrical contacts and a hydraulic port, the stinger stabbing into the wet connector receptacle such that the electrical contacts of the stinger mate with the electrical connection on the wet connector receptacle for providing electrical power to the motor via the electrical power cable and the hydraulic port on the stinger mates with the hydraulic connection on the wet connector receptacle for providing hydraulic fluid pressure to the through tubing assembly; a hydraulic actuated upper packer comprising part of the through tubing assembly for sealing a discharge of the pump to an interior of the tubing string; and an interior hydraulic line running from the hydraulic port on the stinger to the upper packer to supply hydraulic fluid pressure to set the upper packer when the through tubing assembly lands on the tubular assembly.
