Abstract
Some embodiments of a supply tube system (140) for use in a wellbore (160) may have multiple tubes, a number of which can be readily coupled to a downhole steam generator or other heated-fluid generator device (200) . In certain embodiments, the system (140) may include a connector (500) that simplifies the process of coupling the supply tube system (140) to the steam generator (200) and provides for fluid communication between each supply conduit (115), (615), and (715) and the associated input port of the steam generator.
Claims (24)

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first tube supports at least a portion of a weight of the heated-fluid generator device while lowering the heated-fluid generator device into the wellbore.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein one of the first and second tubes is disposed inside of the other tube to define a first fluid conduit inside of a second fluid conduit.
4. The method of claim 1, further comprising coupling the first tube to the heated-fluid generator device using a connector, wherein one of the connector and the second tube comprises a stab portion and the other comprises a receptacle adapted to sealingly receive the stab portion and couple second tube with the connector after the heated-fluid generator device is lowered into the wellbore.
5. The method of claim 4, wherein the connector comprises a first port in communication with the first fluid conduit and the heated-fluid generator device and comprises a second port in communication with the second conduit and the heated-fluid generator device.
6. The method claim 1, wherein the first tube and the second tube are received within a casing and the casing, the first tube, and the second tube at least partially define at least three substantially nested conduits.
7.
