Patent ID: 8397822

Claim:
A system for producing fluids from a hydrocarbon producing wellbore comprising: a receptacle adapted to be mounted to a lower portion of a string of tubing; receptacle contacts in the receptacle that are adapted to be in electrical communication with an electrical power source; and a pumping system deployable through the tubing and into engagement with the receptacle, comprising: a pump with fluid inlets; a pump motor in mechanical communication with the pump; electrical motor contacts in electrical communication with the motor and that are selectively moveable from a retracted position to an extended position and into selective electrical communication with the receptacle contacts so that the pump motor is energizable by the electrical power source; and a purging system deployable with the pumping system through the tubing, the purging system containing flowable material, so that when the pumping system lands within the receptacle, the flowable material discharges from the purging system to between the motor contacts and the receptacle contacts.
