Sampling

Sample Cylinders
IKM PT designs, manufactures and services a wide range of pressure rated bottles for transport and storage of oilfield liquids and gases. With pressure ratings ranging from 100 bar to 1000 bar and volume capacities ranging from 600cc to 20 litres we are able to cover any requirement for this type of service.


IKM PT is also recognized as a quality provider of preventive maintenance routines for 3rd party bottle management where our scope of work includes web-based tracking of bottle status and location. 
 

Sample bottles
IKM PT has been manufacturing high pressure sample bottles for more than 20 years. From our trademark PVT bottles to large volume piston displacement bottles we cover the whole range of well test and production sample needs.

 

PVT Sample bottles
For PVT samples taken at higher pressures – wellhead or downhole, we offer our standard 1000 bar / 200 0C  600cc bottle that can be delivered either as a conventional  type or pressure compensated type for single phase samples. A 4 litre 690 bar rated bottle is also available.

 

Large Volume Bottles
Large volumes (> 10 litres) of pressurized sample are often collected during well test operations. These samples are in addition to the routine PVT sample sets and will be taken for various types of fluid studies such as flow assurance measurements, performance chemical evaluation, core flood studies and well stream compatibility analyses. Often it is more practical to collect these samples in one large bottle rather than several smaller PVT  sized bottles. IKM PT have developed a unique 12 litre displacement type bottle ideal for large volume fluid sampling.

 

Sample bottle maintenance
Our bottle maintenance workshop is fully equipped for handling both our own, and 3rd party fluid sample bottles and downhole samplers. From chemical cleaning to redressing, leak testing and pressure testing, the workshop is equipped to 15K psi standards. The inventory management system ensures that all bottles have a historical maintenance traceability and a certified status.
