  • Patent number: 12662938
    Abstract: Systems and methods for collecting samples of production fluid from a wellbore are disclosed. In one example, a method for collecting samples of production fluid from a wellbore includes providing a fluid collector configured to selectively divert production fluid from a production flow line downstream of the wellbore to at least one sample container, and a controller configured to communicate with a computing device located remote from the fluid collector, and instructing the fluid collector to divert samples of production fluid to the at least one sample container according to a first sample collection schedule. The method also includes, during the first sample collection schedule, instructing the fluid collector, via the computing device located remote from the fluid collector, to divert samples of production fluid to the at least one sample container according to a second sample collection schedule.

  • Publication number: 20170045896
    Abstract: A device for controlling a valve situated in a pipeline. The device has a frame, housing, a motor, a coupling, a controller, and a communication module. The housing is supported on the frame and has at least one opening. The motor has a body and a rotatable shaft. The body is position within the housing and the shaft extends through the housing opening. The coupling has a first end and a second end. The first end is mounted on the shaft. The second end has an opening configured to receive a valve stem of the valve. The controller is configured to direct operation of the motor to move the valve. The communication module is configured to enable remote operation of the motor.
