METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FLUID AND SOIL SAMPLING

摘要

A sampling device (302) includes a barrel (304) having a downhole end, an exterior surface (308), an interior surface (306) defining a hollow interior (310), and an open end at the downhole end of the hollow interior (310). A fluid entrance (348) penetrates the exterior surface (308). A fluid path (360) having an outlet port is fluidly coupled to the fluid entrance (348). The device (302) is driven into a subsurface so that a soil sample is forced into the hollow interior (310). While the device (302) is still in the subsurface a fluid sample is collected through the least one fluid entrance (348) and fluid path (360).
