A separator for separating gases, liquids and solids occurring in an affluent discharged from a well, the separator having characteristics which allow its use in a number of different applications, including in-line testing, underbalanced drilling, and frac flow in bringing a well into production or the restoring of an old well. An interior separating device permits the escape of gas through a gas outlet tube to the upper portion of a chamber in a closed vertically disposed vessel. A lower discharge portion of the separating device is received in a tubular confinement member the lower end of which is below the operating level of liquid collected in a lower portion of the chamber in the vessel. A plurality of upstanding vanes is located in a solids collection chamber below an open lower end of the confinement member, the solids collection chamber having a solids outlet in a lowermost location. Above the gas outlet tube and a gas demister through which gas exiting from the chamber passes is a tray having an upper liquid collecting surface. A liquid outlet permits exit of the liquid as it collects in the chamber, the exiting liquid passing through a sand removal device which deposits sand suspended in the liquid to the solids collection chamber. While the separator is of relatively simple construction and is therefore economical to produce and of a size which may be readily transported, its versatility eliminates the necessity of providing and transporting a number of different types of separators for different operating conditions.
