JUMPER LINES WITH PUMPS

Abstract: example jumper lines with pumps are disclosed herein. an example includes a first pipe having fluid at a first pressure, a second pipe having fluid at a second pressure lower than the first pressure, and a jumper line including: a jumper pipe coupled between the first pipe and the second pipe that bypasses a device between the first pipe and the second pipe; a valve coupled to the jumper pipe, the valve to open to enable the fluid at the first pressure to evacuate to the second pipe until the first pipe is equalized with the second pipe; and a pump coupled to the jumper pipe, the pump to, when activated, move at least a portion of the fluid from the first pipe to the second pipe.
