Submersible pump assembly for removing a production inhibiting fluid from a well and method for use of same

A submergible pump assembly for removing a production inhibiting fluid from a well, comprising:

• a composite coiled tubular defining a fluid communication path substantially from a fluid accumulation zone in the well to the surface, the composite coiled tubular having a plurality of composite layers and an energy conductor integrally positioned between two of the plurality of composite layers;
• a submergible pump coupled to the composite coiled tubular and disposed within the fluid accumulation zone, the submergible pump receiving power from the energy conductor;
• and
• first and second sensors in communication with the submergible pump, the first and second sensors controlling the operational state of the submergible pump based upon the presence of the production inhibiting fluid.

A method f or removing a production inhibiting fluid in a fluid accumulation zone of a well comprising the steps of:

• coupling a submergible pump to a composite coiled tubing having an energy conductor embedded between two composite layers and defining a fluid passageway;
• running the submergible pump into the fluid accumulation zone of the well;
• providing power to the submergible pump via the energy conductor;
• sensing a presence of the production inhibiting fluid with a first sensor and a second sensor;
• and
• operating the submergible pump to pump the production inhibiting fluid from the fluid accumulation zone to the surface via the fluid passageway of the composite coiled tubing.
