A downhole separator for separating a three-phase fluid produced in an oil or gas well. The downhole separator including a tubular body and a radial directed opening in an uphole end of the tubular body for allowing the three-phase fluid to enter the downhole separator while also permitting a gas component of the three-phase fluid to exit the downhole separator. The downhole separator also including a dip tube disposed inside the tubular body for delivering a primarily liquid component of the three-phase fluid to be processed and a first annulus area disposed between the dip tube and the tubular body. A method of separating components of a three-phase fluid produced in an oil or gas well. The method includes the step of pumping the three-phase fluid into a downhole separator to separate the three-phase fluid into the separate components.

Downhole sand and gas separator

A plunger apparatus may include an upper cylindrical section, a plurality of through-holes, an elongated body, and a lower cylindrical section. The plurality of through-holes may be circumferentially arranged about the upper cylindrical section to provide passages for venting and releasing particulates that clog the plunger and barrel seal area. Further, the plunger apparatus may provide an undersized area circumferentially disposed about the upper cylindrical section for creating a point of relief and inducing swirling of particulates. An oversized area may also be provided for creating a point of increased pressure about the plunger apparatus.
