Abstract

A system for conveying fluid into a wellbore, including a tubular member, a packer, a hydrodynamic flow device, and a seal device. The tubular member is disposed in the wellbore through a first zone, a second zone, and a hydrocarbon producing zone of the wellbore. The packer is disposed adjacent to the tubular member, and is configured to at least partially isolate the hydrocarbon producing zone from at least one of the first and second zones. The hydrodynamic flow device is disposed around the tubular member and comprises a pump fluidly connected to a discharge in fluid communication with the first zone and an inlet in fluid communication with the second zone. The seal device is disposed around the hydrodynamic flow device to isolate a first annulus of the first zone from a second annulus of the second zone.
