Abstract

An assembly for downhole deployment of well equipment, the assembly being above a coiled tubing which receives a part of a cable assembly and below a production pump, the assembly including: a split hanger fixing the cable assembly coming out of the coiled tubing; a seal connectable to the split hanger, configured to prevent formation fluid from entering the coiled tubing. The set of connectors includes: a coiled tubing connector, configured to connect the assembly to the coiled tubing; a lower connector, an upper part of the lower connector being adapted to receive, at least in part, the split hanger and the seal; an upper connector arranged above the lower connector; an adjusting nut; the upper connector and the adjusting nut being connectable to each other, thereby fixing the assembly relative to the coiled tubing; a lower part of the upper connector having an exit enabling the cable assembly to extend out of the assembly.

Claims (27)

1. An assembly for downhole deployment of well equipment, the assembly being above a coiled tubing which receives a part of a cable assembly and below a production tubing, the assembly comprising:

a split hanger fixing the cable assembly outside the coiled tubing;

a seal connectable to the split hanger, configured to prevent formation fluid from entering the coiled tubing; and

a set of connectors, configured to connect the assembly to the coiled tubing, the set of connectors comprising:

a coiled tubing connector, configured to connect the assembly to the coiled tubing;

a lower connector, an upper part of the lower connector being adapted to receive, at least in part, the split hanger and the seal;

an upper connector arranged above the lower connector;

an adjusting nut, the upper connector and the adjusting nut being connectable to each other, thereby fixing the assembly relative to the coiled tubing; and

a lower part of the upper connector having an exit enabling the cable assembly to extend out of the assembly.

2. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the adjusting nut has a flange extruding radially inward and the lower connector has a flange extruding radially outward.

3. The assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising a end cap, which is connectable to the split hanger via the seal.

4. The assembly according to claim 1 wherein the wellbore equipment comprises at least one mineral insulated heater.

5. The assembly according to claim 1 wherein the wellbore equipment comprises at least one electrical submersible pump.

6. The assembly according to claim 5 comprising mineral insulated heaters located in the coiled tubing and an electrical submersible pump located in the production tubing.

7. The assembly according to claim 1 wherein the wellbore equipment comprises thermocouples.

8. A method for downhole deployment of well equipment, comprising:

providing an assembly being above a coiled tubing which receives a part of a cable assembly and below a production tubing, the assembly comprising:

a split hanger fixing the cable assembly outside the coiled tubing;

a seal connectable to the split hanger, configured to prevent formation fluid from entering the coiled tubing;

a set of connectors, configured to connect the assembly to the coiled tubing, the set of connectors comprising:

a coiled tubing connector, configured to connect the assembly to the coiled tubing;

a lower connector, an upper part of the lower connector being adapted to receive, at least in part, the split hanger and the seal;

an upper connector arranged above the lower connector;

an adjusting nut, the upper connector and the adjusting nut being connectable to each other, thereby fixing the assembly relative to the coiled tubing;

a lower part of the upper connector having an exit enabling the cable assembly to extend out of the assembly.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the adjusting nut has a flange extruding radially inward and the lower connector has a flange extruding radially outward.

10. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the assembly further comprising an end cap, which is connectable to the split hanger via the seal.
