Systems and apparatuses for separating wellbore fluids and solids during production

Parts for assembly to produce a flow diverter configured for disposition within a wellbore, comprising:

• an insert-receiving part includes:
• a reservoir fluid receiver;
• a gas-depleted reservoir fluid discharge communicator;
• a passageway extending from the reservoir fluid receiver to the gas-depleted reservoir fluid receiver;
• a reservoir fluid discharge communicator disposed in fluid communication with the passageway;
• and
• a gas-depleted reservoir receiver disposed in fluid communication with the passageway;
• a flow diverter-effecting insert configured for insertion within the passageway;
• wherein the insert-receiving part and the flow diverter-effecting insert are co-operatively configured such that:
• reservoir fluid flow, that is received by the reservoir fluid receiver, is conducted to the reservoir fluid discharge communicator for discharging, via the reservoir fluid discharge communicator, into the wellbore, such that gaseous material is separated from the discharged reservoir fluid flow within the wellbore in response to at least buoyancy forces, such that a gas-depleted reservoir fluid flow is obtained, received by the gas-depleted reservoir fluid receiver, and conducted to the gas-depleted reservoir fluid discharge communicator, for discharging via the gas-depleted reservoir fluid discharge communicator;
• while the flow diverter-effecting insert is disposed within the passageway of the insert-receiving part.

A reservoir fluid production assembly, disposed within a wellbore, comprising:

• a flow diverter configured for:
• receiving reservoir fluid flow from a downhole wellbore space of the wellbore and conducting the received reservoir fluid flow;
• discharging the received reservoir fluid flow into an uphole wellbore space of the wellbore such that gaseous material is separated from the discharged reservoir fluid flow within the uphole wellbore space in response to at least buoyancy forces, such that a gas-depleted reservoir fluid flow is obtained;
• and
• receiving and conducting the gas-depleted reservoir fluid flow;
• a pump coupled to the flow diverter for receiving the gas-depleted reservoir fluid flow being conducted by the flow diverter;
• a pressurized gas-depleted reservoir fluid conductor coupled to the pump for conducting gas-depleted reservoir fluid flow, that has been pressurized by the pump, to the surface;
• and
• a wellbore sealed interface disposed within the wellbore between:
• (a) the uphole wellbore space of the wellbore, and (b) the downhole wellbore space of the wellbore, for preventing, or substantially preventing, bypassing of the gas-depleted reservoir fluid receiver by the gas-depleted reservoir fluid flow;
• wherein:
• the flow diverter includes:
• an insert-receiving part including a passageway;
• and
• a flow diverter-effecting insert disposed within the passageway.
