Patent ID: 8500419

Claim:
A method for moving fluid at a subsea location, comprising: providing a skid that comprises a controller, a sensor operatively coupled to the controller, mounts, each mount configured to mount a tubular housing to the skid, an electrical connector for each of the mounts, fluid connectors for each of the mounts, and for control of operating mode by the controller, tubular housing fluid isolation valves for each of the mounts and at least one fluid bypass that comprises a fluid bypass isolation valve; providing a tubular housing; releasably mounting the tubular housing to one of the mounts of the skid; deploying an electric submersible pumping system within the tubular housing; enabling fluid and electrical connections for the electrical submersible pumping system deployed within the tubular housing with respective fluid connectors and a respective electrical connector of the skid; lowering the skid with the tubular housing, the electric submersible pumping system, and the fluid and electrical connectors to a sea floor; and responsive to sensing by the sensor in at least one of the at least one fluid bypass, controlling operating mode via the controller, the tubular housing fluid isolation valves and the fluid bypass isolation valve.
