Is the following pipeline design feasible?

I would like to ask everyone: with the flow direction as shown in the diagram above, and with the pump on the far right in operation, can the crude oil flow properly? Will this cause pressure buildup?
Is there no experienced master who can explain it?
Pressure and flow rate are not in a proportional relationship; factors such as pressure difference, pipe diameter, cross-sectional shape, the presence of bends, pipe wall roughness, whether the pipes have a constant diameter, and the viscosity of the fluid… make it impossible to determine whether there is pressure buildup.
The pressure of the water injection is much higher than that in the crude oil pipeline; if the pressure in the water injection line is not reduced, it may affect the flow rate of crude oil
I don’t understand; wait for an expert to explain why the oil doesn’t get trapped
