Abstract
A submersible pump assembly (100) for removing a production inhibiting fluid (102) from a well (110) and method for use of the same is disclosed. The submersible pump assembly (100) includes a composite coiled tubing (120) and a submersible pump (112) coupled to the tubing (120) that is disposed within a fluid accumulation zone (104) of the well (110). The tubing (120) defines a fluid communication path substantially from the fluid accumulation zone (104) to the surface. The submersible pump (112) includes a port (114) for intaking production inhibiting fluid (102). The tubing (120) includes a composite layer in which energy conductors are integrally positioned. The energy conductors provide power to the submersible pump (112) such that the production inhibiting fluid (102) may be pumped from the fluid accumulation zone (104) to the surface via the fluid communication path of the tubing (120).
