A system for pumping fluids comprises a fluid separator 24 having an inlet for a mixture of HP (high pressure) fluids, a first outlet for gas-rich HP fluid, and a second outlet for liquid-rich HP fluid. A booster pump 26 is connected to receive liquid-rich HP fluid from the separator and increase the pressure of the fluid. A jet pump 28 has a HP inlet connected to receive liquid-rich VHP (very high pressure) fluid from the booster pump, a LP (low pressure) inlet configured to receive a mixture of LP fluids, and an outlet for a second mixture of HP fluids. The jet pump 28 is configured to combine the liquid-rich VHP fluid with the mixture of LP fluids, so that the second mixture of HP fluids is at a pressure between the pressure of the liquid-rich VHP fluid and the mixture of LP fluids. |
