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 , where a first uphole y-tool branch of the two uphole y-tool branches is mechanically connected to the submersible pump string characterised in that a second uphole y-tool branch of the two uphole y-tool branches 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 , where a first uphole y-tool branch of the two uphole y-tool branches is mechanically connected to the submersible pump string characterised in that a second uphole y-tool branch of the two uphole y-tool branches 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 . <EOS>
