    Abstract: A system may include a lower completion disposed in a main bore of a multilateral well in a position downhole from a junction of the multilateral well. The system may also include a fluid separator configured to receive formation fluid, which includes oil and water, flowing from the lower completion. The fluid separator may be configured to at least partially separate the formation fluid into formation oil and formation water. The fluid separator may also be configured to output the formation oil, via a separator oil outlet, to flow uphole, and output the formation water, via a separator water outlet, to flow toward a lateral bore of the multilateral well. Further, the system may include a water cut sensor disposed uphole from the fluid separator. The water cut sensor may be configured to measure the percentage of water in the formation oil.

    Abstract: A pump fluid end having a reciprocating element a discharge valve assembly, a suction valve assembly, and a suction valve stop. The reciprocating element is disposed at least partially within a reciprocating element bore of the pump fluid end. The suction valve assembly is coupled with a front end of the reciprocating element. The suction valve stop is positioned within the reciprocating element bore such that the suction valve stop contacts and applies a closing force to the suction valve assembly when the suction valve assembly is stuck open at the end of a discharge stroke of the reciprocating element.
