Abstract:
A wellbore fluid recovery system comprising:a first zone of a wellbore;a second zone of the wellbore, fluidicly isolated from the first zone of the wellbore;a first electric submergible pumping system for recovering fluids from the first zone of the wellbore;a second electric submergible pumping system for recovering fluids from the second zone of the wellbore, the second electric submergible pumping system being displaced from a fluid flow path of the first electric submergible pumping system, wherein the second electric submergible pumping system is connected to one branch of a Y-tool set within the wellbore, and a second branch of the Y-tool is connected to a conduit extending from a discharge of the first electric submergible pumping system;sensors, providing signals of fluid parameters in the first zone and the second zone of the wellbore; anda control system, that receives the signals of fluid parameters provided by the sensors and automatically and independently operates the first electric submergible pumping system and the second electric submergible pumping system to recover fluids from the wellbore.
