Patent ID: 8302695

Claim:
A downhole assembly for deliquifying a wellbore, the assembly having a longitudinal axis and comprising: a tubular assembly of a bottom hole assembly; an ejector assembly coaxially disposed within the tubular assembly wherein the ejector assembly includes: a nozzle section including a converging nozzle and a diverging nozzle in fluid communication with the converging nozzle; a throat section including a convergent throat passage proximal the diverging nozzle and a straight throat passage distal the diverging nozzle and extending axially from the convergent throat passage; wherein the convergent throat passage and the straight throat passage are in fluid communication with the diverging nozzle; a diffuser section coaxially aligned with the throat section, wherein the diffuser section includes a divergent diffuser passage extending axially from the straight throat passage; and a tubular housing extending axially from the converging nozzle to the diffuser section, wherein the converging nozzle, the diverging nozzle, the converging throat passage, the straight throat passage, and the divergent diffuser passage are coaxially disposed within the housing; wherein the housing includes an exhaust port extending radially through the housing and axially positioned below the diffuser section; and wherein the tubular assembly includes an exhaust port that is axially aligned with the exhaust port of the housing of the ejector assembly, and wherein the exhaust port in the tubular assembly extends radially through the tubular assembly from the exhaust port in the housing to a first annulus between the housing and a shroud.
