Abstract

A system includes a packer sealed against a casing string deployed in the well, production tubing extending through the packer and configured to transport the production fluids to a surface location, and an electric submersible pump connected to the production tubing at a location downhole from the packer. The electric submersible pump is configured to pump the production fluids through the production tubing. The system further comprises a gas activated vent valve installed on the production tubing at a location downhole from the packer and configured to open using a pressure exerted on the gas activated vent valve by the gas and a vent line connected to an outlet of the gas activated vent valve, extending through the packer, and configured to transport the gas from the gas activated vent valve to the surface location when the gas activated vent valve is opened by the gas.
