    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 fluid separator system may include a separator housing, a turbine chamber formed within the separator housing, and a fluid inlet configured to receive formation fluid and direct the formation fluid into the turbine chamber. The formation fluid may include oil and water. The fluid separator system may also include a turbine disposed within the turbine chamber and configured to rotate to at least partially separate the formation fluid into formation oil and formation water. Additionally, the fluid separator system may include an oil outlet configured to receive the formation oil separated from the formation fluid and direct the formation oil toward an upper production tubing and a water outlet configured to receive the formation water separated from the formation fluid and direct the formation water out of the separator housing.
