A splice connector for a spoolable tube includes a center portion having an outer diameter equal to an outer diameter of the tube. A longitudinal extension extends in each longitudinal direction outwardly from the center portion. The longitudinal extensions have a plurality of spaced apart segments having an outer diameter equal to an inner diameter of the tube and a plurality of longitudinally spaced apart crimp grooves disposed between the spaced apart segments. An inner diameter of the splice connector is selected such that when the splice connector is assembled to the tube on each longitudinal extension, the splice connector is bendable to a radius of curvature of a winch reel used to deploy the tube into a wellbore.

Spoolable splice connector and method for tubing encapsulated cable

An electrical submersible pump system include an electric submersible pump coupled to a lower end of a production conduit extending into a wellbore, the production conduit in fluid communication with a discharge of the electric submersible pump and with a well conduit extending to the surface. A bypass conduit is nested inside the production conduit and is in fluid communication with the discharge. The check valve is opened when flow is established in the annular space and is otherwise closed. The bypass conduit extends for a selected distance above the discharge. The bypass conduit has a plurality of selected diameter apertures through a wall of the bypass conduit to enable flow into the annular space.

A wellbore rotating instrument system includes a source of rotational energy for transmission thereof to within a wellbore. At least one magnetic gear assembly is coupled at its input to an output of the source. A rotating load is coupled at its input to a rotational output of the magnetic gear assembly. The at least one magnetic gear assembly comprises a housing, a stator disposed in the housing proximate an inner wall thereof, a second shaft rotatably supported on bearings disposed at longitudinally spaced apart locations inside the housing and a first shaft rotatably supported inside the output shaft. The stator comprises a plurality of magnets disposed in generally circular laminations. The second shaft comprises a non-magnetic, electrically non-conductive body and a plurality of pole pieces disposed circumferentially therearound. The first shaft comprises magnets disposed around its exterior circumference and shaped to fit rotatably within the second shaft.
