Samples Taking and Quick Analysis Surface Equipment
A true representative sample is required for every PVT analysis. One can collect such samples using a bottomhole sampler. In cases when it is impossible, samples may be taken from the well test separator during production testing operations. Gas, oil or condensate are collected separately at the same separator conditions. Later, the components are recombined for PVT analysis in the laboratory.
The entire set of equipment features the following items:
- Sampling unit by 20 ltr in volume for taking samples from the choke manifold and test 3-phase separator), WP = 200 Bar – 2 ea;
