Abstract:
A dedicated borehole for an ESP or artificial lift mechanism communicates with a sump or wellbore to collect liquids and/or condensate from one or more other bores where there can be laterals into a producing formation. If the ESP or artificial lift mechanism needs to be replaced the dedicated bore with the ESP or artificial lift mechanism can be closed off and the ESP or artificial lift mechanism removed without taking out the main bore or bores connected to the sump or wellbore. Those bores can continue to produce gas as liquids and/or condensate accumulate in the sump, sumps or wellbore. When the ESP or artificial lift mechanism is replaced the liquid can be pumped to surface without interruption of the gas production.
