Custom designed heating and agitation system for restoration and pressurized transfer of MDT samples
The Oilphase-DBR MDT Modular Formation Dynamics Tester Sample Transfer Equipment (MSTE) is used to safely recombine the liquid and gas phases of hydrocarbon samples retrieved from an open hole with the MDT 1.0 or 2.75 gal sample chambers. The MDT chamber is fitted to the MSTE where it is repressurized, heated, and agitated to restore the sample to reservoir conditions prior to sample transfer or subsampling.
The electronically controlled heating jacket provides even, indirect heating through a liquid filled annulus. The sample chamber is heated to transfer temperature in less than an hour and the temperature is controlled at ±1 degC [1.8 degF]. The transfer unit, which has a working pressure of up to 207 MPa [30,000 psi], is equipped with dedicated high pressure hoses suitable for all transfer fluids and a validation manifold for measuring bubblepoint pressure of the hydrocarbon sample at either ambient or reservoir temperature or both.
Use of MSTE improves the quality and safety of the sample reconditioning and transfer process while saving time and money.
