Apparatus for testing earth formations
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5429033
Apparatus is provided for collecting a plurality of samples of fluids in earth formations traversed by a well bore. The sampling apparatus includes an elongated body member adapted to carry an extensible and retractible fluid admitting probe which is selectively placed in sealing engagement with potentially producible earth formations. The fluid admitting probe is coupled to a fluid passage which is selectively placed into fluid communication with a fluid sample collection chamber. A selectively controllable pressure control system located in the fluid passage intermediate the fluid admitting probe and the sample collection chamber allows the flowing pressure within the formation fluid sample line to be maintained at any selected pressure during fluid sample collection.
