Claim 0:
1. A sampling assembly, comprising:
a body defining a sampling chamber, a displacement chamber, and a passage between the sampling chamber and the displacement chamber, wherein the body comprises an axis extending through the sampling chamber, the displacement chamber, and the passage, wherein the body defines a port positioned crosswise to the axis and configured to release overpressure within the sampling chamber, and wherein the body is configured to store a pressurized fluid as a pressure source in the sampling chamber;
a pressure-activated sampler disposed in the sampling chamber; and
an actuated pressure applicator fluidly coupled to the pressure-activated sampler, wherein the actuated pressure applicator comprises an electronic rupture disk having a rupture member configured to hold the pressurized fluid in the sampling chamber, wherein the electronic rupture disk comprises a remotely-operated local actuator configured to pierce the rupture member to release the pressurized fluid to flow from the sampling chamber, through the passage, to the displacement chamber, wherein the pressure-activated sampler is configured to receive a sample of a reservoir fluid of a well in response to pressure activation caused by the release of the pressurized fluid, and wherein the rupture member is disposed in the passage, the rupture member extends crosswise to the axis, and the port intersects the passage.
