Zusammenfassung:A system includes a downhole separator, a first pump, a second pump, a surface separator, a first tube, and a second tube. The downhole separator is disposed within a first wellbore of a well-pad and configured to generate hydrocarbon stream and water stream from a first production fluid received from first production zone. First pump is disposed within first wellbore and second pump is disposed within a second wellbore of the well-pad. The surface separator is coupled to first and second pumps and configured to receive hydrocarbon stream from downhole separator, using first pump and a second production fluid from second production zone, using second pump and generate oil and water rich stream. First tube is coupled to downhole separator and configured to dispose water stream in a first disposal zone. Second tube is coupled to surface separator and configured to dispose water rich stream in a second disposal zone.
