Abstract
An oil and gas well downhole gas separator defines an outer annulus between the well casing and a separator tube having a lower end fluid inlet, and an inner annulus with a fluid conduit disposed inside. An inlet fitting and an outlet manifold route the fluids, liquids, and gases through a gravity separation sequence. A liquid outlet at the upper end is coupled to a downhole pump. A draw tube is coupled to the inlet fitting at the lower end. The draw tube also supports a casing flow diverter that slideably engages the well-bore casing so as to resist the movement of well fluids thereby while allowing the separator to move along a longitudinal axis of the well-bore casing, facilitating insertion into and removal from the well casing, and allowing for well tubing stretch during operation.
