METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OBTAINING HEAVY OIL SAMPLES FROM A RESERVOIR SAMPLE

The invention relates to an apparatus and method to obtain a bitumen or h eavy oil sample from an oil reservoir sample, such as a core sample, to enab le measurement of physical properties such as viscosity, API gravity, or che mical properties such as sulphur content of the obtained bitumen or heav...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention relates to an apparatus and method to obtain a bitumen or h eavy oil sample from an oil reservoir sample, such as a core sample, to enab le measurement of physical properties such as viscosity, API gravity, or che mical properties such as sulphur content of the obtained bitumen or heavy oi l sample. The analyses performed on the samples obtained in accordance with the invention are effective in assisting oil field operators in making timel y drilling and production decisions at the oil reservoir or for routine labo ratory extraction of oils and bitumens. The invention also permits the colle ction of samples from simulated thermal recovery operations and also allows the collection of bitumens and oils for online analysis of live oil physical properties.
