Abstract
A gas separator operationally coupled between a submersible pump and a motor for use in downhole reservoirs includes an intake housing and an inner intake assembly. The intake housing includes at least two sets of intake ports along an upper section adjacent to the pump with ports in a set vertically offset and sets horizontally offset. The inner intake assembly includes a separation chamber, a self-orienting intake rotatable around a central axis and having at least one communication port, and a port controller. The port controller functions to position the communications port toward the bottom of the gas separator when the gas separator is positioned horizontally in a downhole wellbore. The intake housing allows reservoir fluid traveling downstream to pass through intake ports and into the separation chamber through the communication ports.
