A system for providing artificial lift to wellbore fluids, the system having: a pump located within a wellbore, the pump oriented to selectively boost a pressure of the wellbore fluids traveling from the wellbore towards an earth's surface through a production tubular, the production tubular having an inner bore; a motor located within the wellbore uphole of the pump and providing power to the pump; a seal assembly having a first side connected to the motor and a second side connected to the pump, where the pump, the motor and the seal assembly together form a submersible pump string; an uphole packer circumscribing the production tubular uphole of the motor; a downhole packer located within the wellbore downhole of the pump; an uphole y-tool having an uphole y-tool first end in fluid communication with the production tubular and an uphole y-tool second end with two uphole y-tool branches (38A, 38B), where a first uphole y-tool branch of the two uphole y-tool branches (38A, 38B) is mechanically connected to the submersible pump string characterised in that a second uphole y-tool branch of the two uphole y-tool branches (38A, 38B) is in fluid communication with a bypass tubular, the bypass tubular having a central bypass axis; where the bypass tubular is positioned adjacent to the submersible pump string and extending between the uphole y-tool and the downhole packer; and the central bypass axis is co-linearly aligned with a central axis of the inner bore of the production tubular, and is configured to allow the deployment of intervention tools through the production tubular and the bypass tubular to the wellbore downhole of the submersible pump string. a pump located within a wellbore, the pump oriented to selectively boost a pressure of the wellbore fluids traveling from the wellbore towards an earth's surface through a production tubular, the production tubular having an inner bore; a motor located within the wellbore uphole of the pump and providing power to the pump; a seal assembly having a first side connected to the motor and a second side connected to the pump, where the pump, the motor and the seal assembly together form a submersible pump string; an uphole packer circumscribing the production tubular uphole of the motor; a downhole packer located within the wellbore downhole of the pump; an uphole y-tool having an uphole y-tool first end in fluid communication with the production tubular and an uphole y-tool second end with two uphole y-tool branches (38A, 38B), where a first uphole y-tool branch of the two uphole y-tool branches (38A, 38B) is mechanically connected to the submersible pump string characterised in that a second uphole y-tool branch of the two uphole y-tool branches (38A, 38B) is in fluid communication with a bypass tubular, the bypass tubular having a central bypass axis; where the bypass tubular is positioned adjacent to the submersible pump string and extending between the uphole y-tool and the downhole packer; and the central bypass axis is co-linearly aligned with a central axis of the inner bore of the production tubular, and is configured to allow the deployment of intervention tools through the production tubular and the bypass tubular to the wellbore downhole of the submersible pump string.
