Abstract

A fluid management system positioned in a wellbore for recovering a multiphase stream from the wellbore. The system comprising a downhole separator configured to produce a carrier fluid having a carrier fluid pressure and a separated fluid having a separated fluid pressure, an artificial lift device configured to increase the carrier fluid pressure to produce the turbine feed stream having a turbine feed pressure, a turbine configured to convert fluid energy in the turbine feed stream to harvested energy, the conversion fluid energy from the turbine feed stream to harvested energy produces a turbine discharge stream having a turbine discharge pressure less than the turbine feed pressure, and a pressure boosting device configured to convert the harvested energy to pressurized fluid energy, the conversion of harvested energy to pressurized fluid energy produces a pressurized fluid stream having a pressurized fluid pressure greater than the separated fluid pressure.
