Patent ID: 7325606

Claim:
A method for conveying an electrically energized progressing cavity pump into a wellbore surrounded by steel casing and thereafter using said progressing cavity pump to pump oil, water and gas to the surface of the earth comprising: (a) assembling a coiled tubing means possessing an electrical cable that possesses at least one electrical conductor; (b) attaching said coiled tubing means to an apparatus possessing an electric motor that provides the rotational energy to a progressing cavity pump, said apparatus also possessing sensor means providing measurements of at least the pressure at one specific location in the apparatus, said apparatus also possessing first communications means that receives commands from a computer system located on the surface of the earth, said apparatus also possessing second communications means that provides information from said sensor means to said computer system located on the surface of the earth, said apparatus also possessing a locking means to lock said apparatus into place within said steel casing, said apparatus also possessing a first hydraulic sealing means that provides a hydraulic seal between said apparatus and said steel cased wellbore, whereby said first sealing means is located between the inlet and outlet ports of said progressing cavity pump; (c) placing said apparatus into said steel casing; (d) providing electrical power to said electric motor that rotates the rotor of said progressing cavity pump that generates a pressure differential from one side to another side of said first sealing means that causes the apparatus to move into said steel casing to a predetermined depth; (e) after said predetermined depth is reached, then locking said apparatus into place in said steel casing with said locking means; and (f) providing electrical power to said electric motor that rotates the rotor of said progressing cavity pump that generates a pressure differential from one side to another side of said first sealing means that increases the pressure from any oil, water and gas produced from perforations in said steel casing that are located below said first sealing means to pump oil, water and gas to the surface of the earth.
