Claim 0:
1. A water separation system for a well, the water separation system comprising:
a production control valve fluidly connected to a production tubing and positioned at an uphole end of the production tubing at a well head of a well site;
a production fluid pathway between the production control valve and a water separator to direct a production fluid from the production control valve to the water separator;
an injection control valve fluidly connected to an injection tubing and positioned at an uphole end of the injection tubing at the well head;
an injection fluid pathway between the injection control valve and the water separator to direct separated water from the water separator to the injection control valve;
the water separator positioned at the well site and fluidly connected to the production fluid pathway and the injection fluid pathway, the water separator configured to receive the production fluid, separate water from the production fluid, and direct the separated water to the injection fluid pathway;
an output fluid pathway fluidly connected to the water separator to direct the production fluid out of the water separator; and
a turbocharger fluidly connected to the injection fluid pathway and to one of the output fluid pathway or the production fluid pathway, the turbocharger configured to extract energy from the production fluid to boost a pressure of the separated water in the injection fluid pathway.
