Proserv has launched a new subsea sampling cylinder.
The global energy services firm claim the new model can improve the quality of results and reduce risks normally associated with sample transfer.
Based on existing technology, the Proserv Subsea Sampling Cylinder (SSC) is the world’s first fully qualified and certified ‘for shipping’ sample cylinder to be deployed in a subsea environment.
The system accurately captures well properties throughout the lifetime of a field.
Subsea cylinders allow operators to take representative production samples from a subsea system for direct transfer to a laboratory.
Proserv’s SSC is said to eliminate the risks associated with handling and transferring samples on the surface, reducing the risk of containment loss and exposure to H2s / CO2 which can present a danger to people and the environment.
Andrew Anderson, senior vice president for Production Equipment Services (PES) at Proserv, said: “With operators facing increased challenges in maximising production from geologically complex, high pressure and temperature and often remote and inhospitable fields, being able to generate accurate and reliable information from wells is critical in establishing its status and prospects.
“Our teams have developed a system to eliminate many of the issues that traditionally affect subsea samples. With the increasing demand for flow assurance and reservoir analysis, Proserv fully intends to set the pace as the leading global player in the subsea sampling field.”
