A method of live well artificial lift completion includes hanging an umbilical on a wellhead of a live well, the umbilical fluidly coupling a production pump to a well surface and electrically coupling an electric motor to a surface power source, the electric motor powering the production pump. The umbilical includes coiled tubing surrounded by a jacket. The umbilical also includes power cables extruded inside the jacket to form a smooth jacket outer surface. The method also includes creating a pressure seal inside the umbilical during deployment of the umbilical into the live well, the pressure seal inside the umbilical created using a blowout plug positioned to block a discharge of the production pump. The method further includes forming an annular pressure seal during deployment of the production pump to obtain well control, the annular pressure seal formed using an annular bag coupled to the wellhead.

Apparatus, system and method for live well artificial lift completion

An apparatus, system and method for live well artificial lift completion. A live well artificial lift completion system includes an artificial lift pump discharge, a discharge adapter body secured between the artificial lift pump discharge and an umbilical, the discharge adapter body including an electrical connector fastened to an exterior of the discharge adapter body, an inner diameter of the discharge adapter body fluidly coupled to the artificial lift pump discharge, the umbilical including coiled tubing supportively hanging from an umbilical hanger within a wellhead, the umbilical hanger positioned in a tubing head spool, an inner diameter of the coiled tubing fluidly coupled to the inner diameter of the discharge adapter body, a jacket surrounding the coiled tubing, and a power cable extruded inside the jacket, wherein the power cable is connectable between the electrical connector of the discharge adapter body and a surface power source.
