Abstract

An apparatus for use in a hydrocarbon production well that includes a casing extending from a segment of the production well to a wellhead. A production conduit extends inside the casing, from a first end in the hydrocarbon production well to a second end at the wellhead. A receptacle includes a bottom spaced from the first end of the production conduit and at least one sidewall extending around a portion of the production conduit proximal the first end such that the receptacle extends around the first end of the production conduit. The receptacle includes an opening for liquid to pass into the receptacle to separate liquids from gases. A submersible pump is disposed in the production well and includes a motor outside the receptacle and coupled to a pump body inside the receptacle to pump the liquid from a pump inlet in the receptacle, through the production conduit to the second end.
