Abstract:
Horizontal wells and multi-completion vertical wells generally have a greater performance requirement on downhole gas separators to separate a gas portion from a liquid portion of the well fluid prior to entering an artificial lifting system (or pump). Implementations described and claimed herein provide a downhole gas separator comprising a dip tube extending from a tubing inlet to an open end, a tubing section extending around the dip tube, and a separator sleeve extending around the tubing section. A liquid component of the fluid stream makes a first u-turn at the open end of the separator sleeve, an s-turn at the openings in the tubing section, and second u-turn at the open end of the dip tube. A gaseous component of the fluid stream continues upwards at the open end of the separator sleeve.
