A workover riser arrangement designed to allow installation/retrieval of a coiled tubing suspended Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESP) into live wells is described. The installation takes place by the use of a coiled tubing as a running string that extends through respective apparatuses in said workover riser arrangement and further down towards the well bottom. The workover riser apparatus comprises a first (upper) dual stripper apparatus through which said coiled tubing is to extend, a second (lower) dual stripper apparatus through which said coiled tubing is to extend, a surface BOP, if required, and a surface flow tree arranged between the first and second dual stripper apparatus, an EDP, LRP and an XMT arranged below the second dual stripper apparatus.

The invention provides a multipurpose tool arrangement for riserless invention of a subsea well. The multipurpose tool () which is adapted to be connected at the lower end to a Christmas tree () which has a tubing hanger () and an annulus bore (') being defined through said tubing hanger (). Said tool () comprises a tubular element () and a Christmas tree connector (), said multipurpose tool () is adapted to receive a second tool (), which is operated by a cable (), said second tool () in turn being adapted to install a plug () in said tubing hanger annulus bore (&#x2032;), through said multipurpose tool (), said arrangement also comprising a pressure control head () through which said cable () extend. The invention also provides a method for removal or installing of a Christmas tree.

A cable arrangement for feeding power and signals to downhole equipment, such as an electrically submersible pump (), within an oil or gas well, comprising an upper suspension element (), a lower connector (), a docking station (') for the downhole equipment coupled to said connector (), and a cable (), comprising lines for power and signal. The cable extends between, and is coupled to, the upper suspension element () and the lower connector (). The docking station (&#x2032;) is adapted for attachment to the inner surface of a production tubing (), that a narrow gap is formed between the production tubing () and the downhole equipment (). The cable () is shaped to fit inside the gap by having a first dimension in the radial direction of the gap, which is smaller than the gap and a second dimension in the tangential direction of the gap, which is substantially larger than the first dimension.
