DOWNHOLE PUMP FLUID THROTTLING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17970904 titled 'DOWNHOLE PUMP FLUID THROTTLING DEVICE
In some embodiments, a method for controlling fluid flow through a downhole pump system in a borehole includes moving a first fluid through a tubular via a downhole pump residing below the tubular, where the first fluid includes a compressible fluid. The method may further include increasing an intake pressure of the downhole pump while the first fluid is moving via a control valve system comprising a throttling valve.
