A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11851990B2) discloses a system designed for hydrocarbon production from a reservoir. The system includes a well with a wellhead at the surface, extending downhole into the reservoir, and featuring piping extending from the wellhead. A cable is coupled to a downhole electrical device for hydrocarbon production, with electrical wires passing through a cooling section along the piping. The system also incorporates seals, a radiator for cooling the media, and an electrical connector for the wires. The design ensures efficient cooling and pressure equalization within the system, enhancing its overall performance.
Moreover, the patent also covers a process for installing the hydrocarbon production system in a recovery well, involving feeding an electric submersible pump and cable downhole, routing electrical wires through the wellhead's passageway, and sealing them along the piping. The process includes filling the piping with a cooling media, coupling it to a radiator for passive cooling, and connecting a pressure equalizing line to the casing of the well. By detailing the installation process, the patent provides a comprehensive guide for implementing the system effectively in hydrocarbon recovery wells, ensuring optimal functionality and longevity.
