A method of removing produced fluid from a well producing both gas and liquid comprises utilising produced gas flowing from a formation to power a produced liquid pump. The produced liquid from the pump and the produced gas are carried towards surface in separate fluid streams, and may be commingled closer to surface.

A method of anchoring tubing in a bore comprises: providing first tubing having a section with a wall configured to provide outer surface portions describing a diameter less than a first diameter. The tubing is located within a bore comprising a first section having an internal diameter greater than the first diameter and a second section having an internal diameter corresponding to the first diameter, with the tubing section in the first section of the bore. The tubing section is then reconfigured such that the outer surface portions describe a tubing diameter greater than the first diameter. The tubing is then axially translated relative to the bore to locate the tubing section in the second section of the bore such that the outer surface portions are restrained to the first diameter by the bore, and the outer surface portions engage with the bore.

The present invention generally relates to a method and apparatus for performing an operation in a tubular. In one aspect, a method comprises positioning an apparatus in the tubular, the apparatus having a tractor portion and an auxiliary module. The method further includes operating the tractor portion to move the apparatus through the tubular and operating the auxiliary module to perform the operation in the tubular. In another aspect, an apparatus for use in a tubular is provided. The apparatus comprises a tractor having a drive member for moving the apparatus in a desired direction, a turbine member adapted to be driven by moving fluid and a conversion member for converting movement of the turbine member to power the drive member. The apparatus further includes an auxiliary module for use in performing an operation in the tubular.

A subsurface apparatus in the form a tractor is adapted for travel through a bore containing a moving fluid stream. The tractor comprises a body, a drive arrangement for moving the body in a desired direction, a member mounted on the body and adapted to be driven by the moving fluid, and a conversion arrangement for converting movement of the member to drive for the drive arrangement. The drive arrangement may include a contactless magnetic coupling and a harmonic drive.

A downhole apparatus (10; 10′) for reducing rotational and linear friction between a downhole tool (100; 100′) and/or a downhole tool string and the wall of a wellbore (B) includes an annular body portion (12; 12′) configured for location on a mandrel (102; 102′) of the downhole tool (102; 102′) and one or more rib portions (16; 16′) extending radially from the annular body portion (12; 12′), and configured to engage a wall of the wellbore (B), the annular body portion (12; 12′) and the one or more rib portions (16; 16′) are integrally formed. The annular body portion (12; 12′) is elastically reconfigurable between a first configuration in which the annular body portion (12; 12′) defines a first inner diameter and a second configuration in which the annular body portion (12; 12′) defines a second inner diameter configuration, the second inner diameter being larger than the first inner diameter. The annular body portion (12; 12′) is elastically or plastically reconfigurable between the second configuration and a third configuration in which the annular body portion (12; 12′) defines a third inner diameter, the third inner diameter being smaller than the second inner diameter.
