In a horizontal type scroll compressor discharging compressed gas from a discharge pipe provided in a sealed container in which a compressor mechanism portion and an electric motor portion are stored, for preventing a refrigerator oil from flowing out of a compressor, for supplying an oil in an oil holding portion chamber to a bearing sliding portion, and for reducing an oil ascent, the horizontal type scroll compressor is provided with a support plate separating an inside of the sealed container into a first space in which the compressor mechanism portion and the electric motor portion are stored, and a second space in which the discharge pipe is provided, and a communication path communicating a bottom portion of the first space and a space above the drive shaft within the second space in a lower side of the support plate, and regulates an oil level by the communication path in the case that the oil level difference becomes large at a time of a high-speed operation. In order to stabilize the oil supply to the bearing or the like, the oil is supplied by an oil pump provided in a shaft end portion of the drive shaft close to an oil reserving chamber.
