Definitions

  • Hydrocarbon fluids such as oil and natural gas are obtained from a subterranean geologic formation, referred to as a reservoir, by drilling a well that penetrates the hydrocarbon-bearing formation. Once a wellbore is drilled, various forms of casing and other well completions may be deployed downhole. Sometimes, completion systems employ or work in cooperation with an electric submersible pumping system which may be used to pump oil or other hydrocarbon fluids to a collection location. In some environments, the fluids may be of relatively high viscosity and can thus inhibit pumping of the fluid via the electric submersible pumping system.
  • a system and methodology are provided for facilitating various well operations by delivering a diluent to a desired location in a borehole.
  • a completion system may be disposed in the borehole and a diluent flow path is routed along an interior of the completion system to a desired location.
  • the diluent is delivered to an artificial lift system, e.g. an electric submersible pumping system, to dilute a fluid being produced.
