ABSTRACT:
A composite, flexible tubing assembly (22) for conveying fluids along plural flow paths is provided by an integrated assembly of a relatively large diameter core tube (32) for conveying production fluid, electrical conductors (42, 44, 46, 48) and a plurality of relatively smaller diameter tubular conduits (38, 40) for conveying electrical power and/or pneumatic/hydraulic fluid to the drive motor of a downhole pump, respectively. High tensile strength is provided by a group (36A) of flexible strands (36) and a protective, high tensile strength polymer sheath (34) which encloses the core tube (32) and tubular conduits (38, 40). The assembly (22) is further strengthened by an injection body (58) of filler material disposed in the annulus intermediate the core tube (32) and the protective sheath (34). Tension loading of the production core tube (32) and of the pneumatic/hydraulic conduits (38, 40) is relieved by arranging the large diameter production core tube (32) along an undulating path through the protective outer sheath (34), with the relatively smaller diameter pneumatic/hydraulic tubular conduits (38, 40) and power conductors (42, 44, 46, 48) being wrapped around the production core tube (32).
