Abstract: A method and apparatus for maintaining the single phase integrity of a deep well formation sample that is removed to the surface comprises a vacuum jacket (32) insulated single working cylinder (30) divided by two free pistons (54, 56) into three variable volume chambers (60, 62, 64). The intermediate chamber (62) is pre-charged with a fixed quantity of high pressure gas. Wellbore fluid freely admitted to one end chamber (64) bears against one free piston (56) to further compress the gas. The formation sample is pumped into the other end chamber (54) to first, displace the wellbore fluid from the first end chamber (64) and, sequentially, to further compress the gas to preserve the sample phase state upon removal to the surface.

Title: Vibration-dampening drill collar
Inventor: CLARK BRENT ALEXANDER
IPC: E21B47/017
Filed: 2004-04-01
Granted: 2005-02-22
Abstract: A drill collar primarily for use with measurement-while-drilling and logging-while-drilling sensors, the drill collar composed of a non-magnetic nickel alloy, and having three or four elongate nitral elastomer ribs parallel the longitudinal axis and mounted on the inner surface of the drill collar, defining a central aperture for receiving the down-hole sensor and inter-rib apertures for receiving drilling fluid. This novel drill collar is especially useful in rough or underbalanced drilling applications, protecting the sensor and enhancing measurement accuracy by dampening flow-based harmonic vibrations, absorbing vibration from lateral tool movement, and stabilizing/centralizing the sensor within the central aperture.  Also, the novel drill collar allows the operator to run lower fluid rates while drilling, minimizing formation damage from fluid invasion.
