[0002] In the process of oil exploration and development, in order to clarify relevant data such as the production, pressure, and fluid physical properties of underground oil and gas layers, well testing operations are required. During the operation, generally, a negative pressure is created inside the test tubing string to induce underground oil and gas flows out of the well. In the case where the formation energy is insufficient and creating a negative pressure inside the tubing string still cannot induce the oil and gas to flow out of the well, artificial lift operations need to be carried out for induction. Common artificial lift methods include jet pumps, screw pumps, gas lift, electrical submersible pumps, etc. Conventional electrical submersible pumps need to be connected to the test tubing string and lowered into the well together with the test tubing string, and cable penetration needs to be made, which not only has complex processes but also poor reliability.

[0027] In another embodiment, the cable 120 is a high-strength three-phase AC pipe-packaged cable dedicated to the electric submersible pump; the cable head 130 is a three-phase quick connector.

[0029] In another embodiment, the micro motor 150 is a micro permanent magnet three-phase synchronous motor.

[0030] In another embodiment, the micro electric submersible pump 170 is a centrifugal pump.

[0031] In another embodiment, the counterweight and length-adjusting pipe string 190 is threadedly connected to the positioning and inserting seal 180; the micro electrical submersible pump 170 is flange-connected or threadedly connected to the positioning and inserting seal 180; the micro protector 160 is flange-connected to the micro electrical submersible pump 170; and the micro motor 150 is flange-connected to the micro protector 160.
