    摘要: An electric submersible pump (ESP) assembly. The ESP assembly comprises an electric motor; a seal section coupled to the electric motor; a fluid intake coupled to an uphole end of the seal section, wherein the fluid intake defines a plurality of inlet ports; a gas separator comprising a plurality of gas phase discharge ports, and at least one liquid phase discharge port, wherein the gas separator is located uphole of the fluid intake; a centrifugal pump comprising a fluid inlet at a downhole end, wherein the at least one liquid phase discharge port of the gas separator is fluidically coupled to the fluid inlet of the centrifugal pump; and an inverted shroud assembly, wherein a downhole end of the inverted shroud assembly is coupled to an outside of the gas separator downhole of the gas phase discharge ports of the gas separator and uphole of the fluid intake.
