摘要： A multi-phase, inductive coupling first portion is carried by a tubular. The coupling first portion is configured to inductively transmit current with a corresponding multi-phase, inductive coupling second portion. A downhole-type electric stator is carried by the tubular and is configured to receive and electromagnetically interact with an electric rotor-impeller. The coupling first portion is electrically connected to windings of the stator.

摘要： A downhole-type device includes an electric machine. The electric machine includes an electrical rotor configured to couple with a device to drive or be driven by the electric machine. An electrical stator surrounds the electric rotor. The electric stator includes a seal configured to isolate stator windings from an outside, downhole environment. An inner surface of the seal and an outer surface of the electric rotor define an annulus exposed to the outside environment. A bearing couples the electric rotor to the electric stator. A lubrication system is fluidically coupled to the downhole-type device. The lubrication system includes a topside pressure pump and a downhole-type distribution manifold configured to be used within a wellbore. The distribution manifold is fluidically connected to the topside pressure pump and the bearing to receive a flow of lubricant from the topside pressure pump.

摘要： A fluid end is coupled to and configured to be driven by an electric motor. A shear interconnect is at an uphole end of the electric submersible pump. The shear interconnect is configured to shear a cable line between the electric submersible pump and a topside facility. The shear interconnect is configured to shear the cable at the electric submersible pump. A safety valve is arranged to cease flow within a wellbore, in which the electric submersible pump is installed, when the safety valve is in a closed position.

摘要： A system for operating in a wellbore in a subterranean formation is described. The system includes a housing, a rotor, a stator, and a controller. The rotor is within the housing and includes a rotatable shaft, a fluid impeller, and a magnetic field source. The magnetic field source is configured to generate a net magnetic field around an entire circumference of the rotor that is uniformly polarized in a single orientation. The stator is within the housing and laterally surrounds the rotatable shaft. The stator is configured to conduct the generated magnetic field to produce a voltage waveform signal. The controller is communicatively coupled to the stator. The controller is configured to receive the voltage waveform signal from the stator and determine an operating characteristic of the rotor based on the received voltage waveform signal.

摘要： A stator for a downhole-type motor includes a housing. The housing includes a sleeve. The sleeve includes a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer. The first layer is erosion-resistant. The second layer is corrosion-resistant. The third layer can provide structural support. The stator includes a motor stack. The stator can be used to drive a rotor disposed within an inner bore of the housing.

摘要： During rotation of a shaft of a downhole-type wellbore system, a first signal corresponding to an axial position of the rotating shaft is transmitted by a sensor. The shaft is axially levitated by a plurality of magnetic thrust bearings. A controller determines an amount of axial force to apply to the rotating shaft to maintain axial levitation of the rotating shaft based on the first signal. The controller transmits a second signal corresponding to the determined amount of axial force to the plurality of magnetic thrust bearings. The plurality of magnetic thrust bearings applies the amount of axial force on the rotating shaft to maintain the axial levitation of the rotating shaft based on the second signal.
