Wellbore drilled and equipped for in-well rigless intervention ESP

An apparatus for producing fluid from a well, comprising:

• a conduit string located within a well;
• tubular receptacle secured to the conduit string, the receptacle having a side wall with a port extending therethrough;
• at least one auxiliary tube connected at one end to the port, the auxiliary tube fastened to the outside of the conduit string and extending to the surface;
• an electrical wet connector lowered through the conduit string and landed in the receptacle, the wet connector having at least one conductor on a side surface, the conductor aligning with the port when the wet connector has landed in the receptacle, the wet connector having a wet connector stab-in section;
• an electrical power cable run from an external power source at the surface through the at least one auxiliary tube and into electrical engagement with the conductor on the electrical wet connector;
• a through tubing assembly lowered into the conduit string;
• an electrical submersible pump and motor comprising part of the through tubing assembly, the through tubing assembly having a through tubing assembly stab that stabs into the wet connector stab-in section in electrical engagement with the conductor of the wet connector for providing electrical power to the motor via the power cable;
• and
• an upper packer above an intake of the pump and comprising part of the through tubing assembly for sealing a discharge of the pump from the intake of the pump.

A method for deploying an electrical submersible pump on a wireline, the method comprising:

• providing a receptacle having a side wall with a port extending therethrough;
• attaching an auxiliary tubing to the port and the receptacle to a string of conduit and lowering the receptacle into a well while strapping the tubing alongside the string of conduit;
• after the string of conduit is installed in the well, lowering a wet mate electrical connector down the string of conduit and landing the wet mate electrical connector in the receptacle;
• lowering an electrical cable though the auxiliary tubing and into electrical engagement with the wet mate electrical connector;
• and
• providing the electrical submersible pump with an electrical stab and after the wet mate electrical connector has landed in the receptacle, lowering the electrical submersible pump on a wireline through the conduit and into the wet mate electrical connector, and electrically energizing the electrical stab with the wet mate electrical connector.
