Abstract:
1. A continuous tubing member in combination with a spool arranged to be supported for rotation about a spool axis of rotation and a submersible pump deployed in a wellbore for use in downhole well operations, the continuous tubing member consisting only of: a casing comprising a single, unitary material which is extruded to define extruded outer surfaces extending in a longitudinal direction of the continuous tubing member in which two of the extruded outer surfaces are opposed from one another; a production tubing passage formed in the casing to extend therethrough in the longitudinal direction and being arranged for connection to the submersible pump where the production tubing passage is such that it receives production fluids therethrough; and a plurality of auxiliary conduits formed in the casing separate from the production tubing passage and extending through the casing in the longitudinal direction; the plurality of auxiliary conduits being spaced apart along a common diametrical axis of the tubing passage which is substantially parallel to said two of the extruded outer surfaces which are opposed from one another such that the tubing passage and the plurality of auxiliary conduits are parallel to one another; the continuous tubing member being spooled onto the spool such that the diametrical axis and said two of the extruded outer surfaces which are opposed from one another are parallel to the spool axis of rotation; and at least one of the plurality of auxiliary conduits receiving a control line therethrough which is arranged for connection to the submersible pump to drive operation of the submersible pump; wherein all exterior surfaces of the continuous tubing member in the wellbore are defined solely by the extruded outer surfaces of the casing.
