SYSTEM AND PROCESS FOR INSTALLING A HYDROCARBON PRODUCTION SYSTEM

Abstract:

A system for use in hydrocarbon production includes a well that has a wellhead and extends downhole into a reservoir. The wellhead has a passageway that extends through a sidewall thereof. The system includes piping extending from the wellhead at the passageway. A downhole electrical device is disposed downhole in the well. A cable is coupled to the downhole electrical device and includes electrical wires extending from the downhole electrical device, out of the wellhead, through the passageway in the sidewall, and along the piping. A cooling section is disposed along the piping through which the electrical wires pass, and an electrical connector is coupled to the electrical wires for electrical connection thereto such that the wires extend along the cooling section between electrical connector and the wellhead.
