ELECTRIC SUBMERSIBLE PUMP (ESP) GAS SLUG PROCESSOR AND MITIGATION SYSTEM

A downhole gas separator assembly. The gas separator comprises a drive shaft; a first fluid mover mechanically coupled to the drive shaft having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet; a fluid reservoir concentrically disposed around the drive shaft and located downstream of the first fluid mover, wherein an inside surface of the fluid reservoir and an outside surface of the drive shaft define a first annulus that is fluidically coupled to the fluid outlet of the first fluid mover; a second fluid mover having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, wherein the second fluid mover is located downstream of the fluid reservoir, and wherein the fluid inlet of the second fluid mover is fluidically coupled to the first annulus; and a gas flow path and liquid flow path separator having a gas phase discharge port open to an exterior of the assembly and a liquid phase discharge port.
