DOWNHOLE SAMPLE MODULE WITH AN ACCESSIBLE CAPTURED VOLUME ADJACENT A SAMPLE BOTTLE

摘要

Systems and methods for accessing a second or additional volume of sampled formation fluids identical to a first volume of formation fluids collected in a primary sample bottle during the downhole sampling process. The second volume can be accessed, extracted and analyzed without having to interfere with the first volume or the integrity of the primary sample. The second volume may be captured in a flowline coupled to the primary sample bottle and accessed using a secondary or mini-sample bottle.
