Abstract
Systems and methods for providing artificial lift to wellbore fluids includes a pump, a motor, and a protector assembly forming an electric submersible pump system located within a wellbore. A downhole packer is located downhole of the pump. A solids bypass device is located downhole of the pump. The solids bypass device has a flow tube with an inner bore, a bypass stinger that is a tubular member that circumscribes the flow tube, and drain ports extending through a sidewall of the bypass stinger. A sealing cap circumscribes the flow tube. The sealing cap is moveable between an open position, where the sealing cap is positioned to provide an external fluid flow path through the solids bypass device, and a closed position, where the sealing cap prevents fluid from traveling through the external fluid flow path. A biasing member biases the sealing cap towards the open position.
