Patent ID: 8322442

Claim:
A method of removing fluid from a subsea wellbore subsea wellhead assembly, the wellbore being in fluid communication with a producing formation, but containing a non-production fluid that impedes natural flow from the producing formation, the method comprising: a. providing a pressurizing module comprising a pressurizing device with an entrance and an exit, a suction line having an end coupled to the pressurizing device entrance and a discharge line having an end coupled to the pressurizing device exit; b. coupling the pressurizing module with the wellhead assembly so that the suction line is in fluid communication with the non-production fluid in the wellbore; c. activating the pressurizing device to draw the non-production fluid from the wellbore, through the wellhead assembly and to the suction line, through the pressurizing device, and into the discharge line; d. when a sufficient amount of the non-production fluid is withdrawn so that the production fluid is flowing naturally, deactivating the pressurizing device; and e. disconnecting the pressurizing device from the wellhead assembly, relocating the pressurizing module to another subsea wellhead assembly, and repeating steps (b), (c), and (d).
