Hydrocarbon wells and methods cooperatively utilizing a gas lift assembly and an electric submersible pump

A hydrocarbon well, comprising:

• a wellbore extending between a surface region and a subterranean formation that includes a reservoir fluid;
• a downhole tubular defining a tubular conduit and extending within the wellbore;
• an electric pumping assembly including an electric submersible pump (ESP) and an ESP tubular defining an ESP conduit, wherein:
• (i) the ESP includes an ESP inlet configured to receive the reservoir fluid into the ESP, wherein the ESP is configured to pressurize the reservoir fluid to generate a pumped reservoir fluid stream, and further wherein the ESP includes an ESP outlet configured to discharge the pumped reservoir fluid stream from the ESP;
• (ii) the ESP is operatively attached to the ESP tubular such that the ESP conduit receives the pumped reservoir fluid stream from the ESP outlet;
• and
• (iii) the electric pumping assembly is positioned within the tubular conduit such that the ESP tubular and the downhole tubular define an annular space therebetween, wherein the ESP tubular fluidly isolates the ESP conduit from the annular space;
• an electric power source in electrical communication with the ESP and configured to provide an electric current to the ESP to power the ESP;
• and
• a gas lift assembly including:
• (i) a lift gas source configured to generate a lift gas stream;
• (ii) a lift gas injection point configured to inject the lift gas stream into the annular space to generate a gas lifted reservoir fluid stream, wherein the lift gas injection point is uphole from the ESP inlet;
• and
• (iii) a lift gas supply conduit configured to convey the lift gas stream from the lift gas source to the lift gas injection point.
