Patent ID: 11629575

Abstract:
A downhole tool includes a y-tubular section sized to run into a wellbore and configured to couple to a production tubing. The y-tubular section includes a main tubular section, a primary tubular leg coupled to the main tubular section, and a secondary tubular leg coupled to the main tubular section and offset from the primary tubular leg. The secondary tubular leg is sized to receive an electrical submersible pump (ESP). A hydraulic flow control device is positioned in the primary tubular leg and configured to selectively modulate toward an open position to fluidly couple the main tubular section to a portion of the primary tubular leg and selectively modulate toward a closed position to fluidly decouple the secondary tubular leg from a portion of the primary tubular leg based on a hydraulic signal from a hydraulic fluid system positioned at or near a terranean surface.
