  • Publication number: 20190277729
    Abstract: This disclose includes methods and systems for sampling and/or analyzing fluid, such as production fluid from an oil and gas well. Some methods include receiving, into a container coupled to a production fluid conduit, production fluid from the production fluid conduit, the received production fluid having a first pressure that is substantially equal to a pressure of production fluid within the production fluid conduit, and capturing, with one or more sensors, data indicative of one or more properties of a portion of the received production fluid, wherein the portion of the received production fluid, during the capturing, has a pressure that is substantially equal to the first pressure.
