Wireline Services Open Hole Sampling and Testing Reservoir Evaluation System (RES) Sample Carrier The RES sample carrier (RSC) houses four RES sample bottles (RSBs). Up to four RES carriers can be stacked and run together, which allows collection of up to 16 samples per run. After the run, the sample bottles can be removed and sent to the lab for analysis with no need for a wellsite transfer. The RSC features a uniform 6-cc sample dead volume for all bottles. This minimizes induced contamination and ensures that collected samples are true comparisons of one another. The RSC also contains an integrated exhaust port with a valve. This feature enables multiple operations, including simultaneous bottle filling and programmable shut-in pressures―all controlled by electrohydraulic bottle valves. The RSC is part of the Reservoir Evaluation System (RES) family of tools. Applications •Collects critical reservoir samples in a variety of conditions Features, Advantages, and Benefits •Reduces run time and eliminates the need for reflowing the formation by enabling singleor multiple-zone sampling and an option to fill multiple bottles simultaneously •Offers system expansion of up to 16 bottles per run, which can provide significant savings by allowing multiple-zone sampling and reducing the total number of runs required •Ensures high-quality sampling with less induced contamination by using a uniform 6-cc dead volume per bottle •Minimizes contamination with integrated exhaust port valves, which pumps sample fluids past the bottle ports and flushes mud out of the flow lines •Ensures consistency between samples and allows for a true lab comparison weatherford.com 1 © 2014 Weatherford.
