1. A system for ascertaining a relative percentage of water contained in a liquid phase of a fluid sample received from a well, where the fluid sample comprises the liquid phase and a gas phase, and the liquid phase comprises oil and water, the system comprising:
a fluid inlet from the well through which the fluid sample is received, a fluid outlet through which the fluid sample is discharged, and a plurality of vessels disposed between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet; the plurality of vessels comprising a degassing cylinder and a sampling cylinder, wherein the degassing cylinder is hydraulically connected to the sampling cylinder, the degassing cylinder receiving at least a portion of the fluid sample from the fluid inlet; a first piston disposed within the degassing cylinder wherein the first piston is moveable from a first position to a second position, wherein substantially all of the liquid phase of the fluid sample received by the degassing cylinder is transferred to the sampling cylinder as the first piston moves from the first position to the second position; and a water cut analyzer hydraulically connected to the sampling cylinder, the water cut analyzer adapted to receive a liquid sample from the sampling cylinder wherein the water cut analyzer provides data which may be utilized to determine a percentage of any water contained within the liquid sample received from the sampling cylinder. |
