Reservoir Fluid Sampling of a Wide Spectrum of Fluid Types Under Different Conditions: Issues, Challenges, and Solutions

Reservoir fluid PVT is the basis for efficient reservoir development plans, appropriate facilities, and plant design and<br>operation and plays a vital role throughout the production life of the reservoir. Acquisition of representative high quality insitu<br>reservoir fluid samples is the first step in this process and requires special attention. The challenges of acquiring<br>representative samples depend on a number of factors, including the type of the fluid being sampled, the initial reservoir<br>conditions, and the formation properties.
