Abstract:
A lube and bleed casing adapter and related systems and methods are provided for a lubricate and bleed operation in a wellbore where heavy fluids are directly deposited downwell. The casing adapter allows a hose to be positioned downwell and to be operably connected to a tank of heavy fluid. Once, the heavy fluid is deposited, the casing adapter receives lighter fluids from the wellbore, and the casing adapter is operably connected to a return tank that stores lighter fluids. As a result, the casing adapter and related systems and methods save time as the heavy fluid does not need to sink downwell before the lighter fluid rises upward.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of pumping a fluid in a wellbore, comprising:\n providing a casing adapter that defines an enclosed volume, said casing adapter having an inlet, an outlet, and a port aperture all in operable communication with said enclosed volume; deploying a hose having a proximal end and a distal end through said inlet, through said enclosed volume, and through said port aperture to divide said enclosed volume into a hose volume and an annulus volume, wherein a clearance is defined between an outer surface of said hose and an inner surface of said port aperture; deploying said hose through a port of a wellhead and into a wellbore that extends from said wellhead until said distal end of said hose is a predetermined distance from said port of said wellhead; selectively connecting said casing adapter to said wellhead so that said port aperture is in operable communication with said port of said wellhead and said wellbore; pumping a first fluid through said inlet, through said hose and said hose volume, and out of said distal end of said hose into said wellhead; and receiving a second fluid from said wellhead, through said annulus volume, and out of said outlet.
