An apparatus for the downhole production of hydrocarbons. The apparatus includes a first pump coupled to a second pump. The first pump is powered by injection fluid contained in the tubing string, thus, eliminating the need for electrical connection cables or rotating rods. Typically, the second pump is powered by the first pump. The apparatus is capable of simultaneous injection and hydrocarbon production in a single wellbore. The coupling of the first and second pumps may further include a cross-over piece wherein the injection fluid and hydrocarbon production bypass one another.

Why it's free to use
- Filed March 10, 1998. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended March 10, 2018.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 10, 2020.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
