ABSTRACT:
A method of suspending an electric submergible pumping system within a wellbore includes inserting an electric cable within a conduit, such as coiled tubing. An electric submergible pumping system is connected to the conduit, and the electric cable is connected to an electric motor of the electric submergible pumping system. The electric submergible pumping system and the conduit are inserted into the wellbore, and the electric cable is permitted to buckle in a manner so that the electric cable buckles and contacts an interior surface of the conduit at a plurality of locations to prevent longitudinal movement of the electric cable within the conduit. Since the cable is self supported within the conduit, there is no need for cable anchors or other devices to transfer the weight of the cable to the conduit.
