Automatic Sampling Systems
Representative Data for Quality Assurance
In custody transfer, volume is only half of the equation; quality is the other. Our Automatic Sampling Systems are engineered to provide a statistically accurate representation of the entire batch of fluid or gas flowing through your pipeline. Unlike manual “spot” sampling—which only captures a moment in time—our automated systems extract proportional-to-flow samples over the entire duration of a transfer. This ensures that the laboratory analysis reflects the true average composition of the product, protecting you from financial discrepancies caused by varying water cuts or impurities.
Reliability in the Field
Built for the rigors of the oilfield, our sampling systems are designed for 24/7 operation with minimal manual intervention.
Precision Sampling Technology
O&G Solutions provides skid-mounted, automated samplers designed to maintain the “freshness” and integrity of the sample from the pipeline to the laboratory.
-
Proportional-to-Flow Extraction: Integrated with your flow meter or flow computer, the sampler adjusts its frequency based on the actual velocity of the fluid, ensuring the final composite sample is perfectly representative.
-
Isokinetic Sampling Probes: Specially designed probes that extract the sample at the same velocity as the main pipeline flow, preventing the “separation” of water and oil droplets that can skew results.
-
Sample Mixing & Homogenization: Integrated mixing systems (such as jet mix loops) ensure that the sample is thoroughly blended before it enters the receiver, providing a consistent fluid profile for analysis.
-
Sealed Sample Receivers: High-integrity, portable cylinders designed to prevent “weathering” or the loss of light-end hydrocarbons, ensuring the sample remains at line conditions until it reaches the lab.
