Abstract
A system may include a fluid separator disposed within a lateral bore of a multilateral well. The fluid separator may be configured to receive formation fluid from a main bore of the multilateral well, separate the formation fluid into formation water and production fluid, and output the production fluid to flow uphole. The system may also include a lower lateral packer, disposed within the lateral bore in a position downhole from the fluid separator, and a downhole pump disposed in the lateral bore. The downhole pump is configured to receive the formation water from the fluid separator and pump the formation water to flow into a portion of the lateral bore downhole from the lower lateral packer.
