Large count microsampler
A microsampling device for taking fluid samples in a wellbore. The microsampling device may comprise a microsampling tube in which one or more microsamplers disposed in the microsampling tube. Additionally, the microsampling device may comprise a fluid flow line connected to the microsampling tube in which a fluid sample traverses and a secondary fluid flow line in which at least a part of the fluid sample may traverse from the microsampling tube through the secondary fluid flow line and into a wellbore.
1 . A microsampling device comprising:
a microsampling tube;
one or more microsamplers disposed in the microsampling tube;
a fluid flow line connected to the microsampling tube in which a fluid sample traverses;
a secondary fluid flow line in which at least a part of the fluid sample may traverse from the microsampling tube through the secondary fluid flow line and into a wellbore; and
one or more capillary ports disposed in the microsampling tube.
2 . The microsampling device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more microsamplers comprise a body and a top seal disposed at one end of the body and a bottom seal disposed at an opposite end of the top seal.
3 . The microsampling device of claim 2 , wherein the body is a concave shape and forms an annulus.
4 . The microsampling device of claim 2 , wherein the body comprises a threaded corridor that traverses the body along a longitudinal axis.
5 . The microsampling device of claim 4 , wherein the threaded corridor may mate to a threaded rod, wherein the threaded rod is connected to at least one motor.
6 . The microsampling device of claim 5 , wherein the at least one motor rotates the threaded rod which moves the one or more microsamplers within the microsampling tube.
