Abstract: An electric submersible pump (ESP) dual gas and sand separator is described. An ESP system includes a dual gas and sand separator having a fluid flow pathway including an upward turn and a downward turn, the upward turn separating solids from a fluid flowing through the pathway and the downward turn separating gas from the fluid, the dual separator including a sand sump below the fluid flow pathway. The separator includes tubing that extends below the ESP assembly, at least a portion of the tubing including two concentric pipes. A dual gas and sand separating method includes causing pumped fluid to turn from upwards to downwards and then upwards again in a tortious pathway below the ESP assembly before the fluid travels into a centrifugal pump intake, and collecting solids that separate out of the multiphase fluid in a solid sump coupled below the tortious pathway.
