Abstract
A method for installing an electric submersible pump (ESP) in a well includes installing a plug in the well below a well tree. An upper and lower master valve on the tree are closed. Closure elements are removed from the lower master valve and replaced with gate seats, and a replacement gate block. The replacement gate block has a seat for a cable hanger. The upper master valve is opened. The plug is removed and the ESP extended into the well on an electrical cable. A cable hanger is affixed to the cable and is seated in the seat. The cable hanger has sealing elements to engage the seat and an electrical connector. The electrical connector is oriented to enable access through a side opening in the replacement gate block.
