Capture PVT-quality samples of multiphase fluids directly from the flowline—and measure them onsite

PhaseSampler multiphase sampling equipment collects PVT-quality samples of multiphase fluids at line conditions directly from the flowline and measures the key properties of oil, water, and gas densities and liquid viscosity.

Rugged, compact PhaseSampler equipment positions three sampling probes across the flowline to collect phase-representative samples, as confirmed by optical monitoring and performed under controlled temperature and pressure to maintain thermodynamic equilibrium. The samples are then flashed to measure key basic fluid properties or they can be transferred to shipping bottles for laboratory analysis.

From heavy oils to volatile oils and gas condensates, PhaseSampler equipment measures the oil, water, and gas densities and the liquid viscosity at line conditions. This dynamic fluid profile is converted to standard conditions for the accurate determination of oil, water, and gas flow rates; gas/oil ratio; and basic sediment in water. No volumetric conversion factors are employed, so no uncertainties are introduced to your well test results.
