Abstract
Electric power is supplied to downhole equipment, such as a submergible pump, by a power cable that is joined to a support cable by a cable carrier as the carrier and cables are fed into a well. The carrier comprises laterally displaced resilient clamping sections that are clamped about respective cables to form a continuous assembly, and the assembly is fed into the well as the equipment is installed.
