Abstract
The present invention provides a downhole water separation system with an encapsulated electric submersible pumping device for the separation and transfer of different density fluids in downhole applications. The encapsulated device works in conjunction with a separator and packer, using a pump assembly and a motor assembly that are contained in an enclosed device, to separate fluids with a minimum use of conduits. The pump and motor are part of an encapsulated single device, and the separation system arrangement permits the motor and pump to be either above or below the separator.
