| Summary: | and record temperatures. The Ocean Drilling Program has approximately 18 inches and capture a small volume of fluid comparison between samples returned at formation pressure and Conceptual Design Evaluation, and 4) Embodiment Design. The conditions; however, fluid samples typically encounter a consortium dedicated to exploring the structure and history determining the chemistry of the formation. In order to developed two such probes, the IPOD in situ Pore Water development of a new probe tip configuration, as well as, a experiences a pressure drop upon entering the probe. Fluid Favorable results of the sampling system allowed for the formed. Fluid and temperature samples are one means of full sample system testing and supervision of the generated for all components of the tool. Components were in October of 1995. in situ conditions, The project was broken down into two manufacturing and testing stage of the project consisted of manufacturing process. the result of the design process was a manufacturing stage. The design stage was governed by a metering valve. Full testing of this sampling system showed methodology were 1) Need Analysis, 2) Conceptual Design, 3) minimal pressure drop between the formation and the probe. more accurate picture of the formation conditions and allow new modularized electronics section. Machine drawings were next step. If successful, the probe is to undergo sea trials obtain quality samples a tool must probe into the formation ocean floor and develop a better understanding of how it was of earth beneath the oceans. The program receives funds from of the program is to learn about the geological makeup of the pressure drop as they enter the tool. Samples collected Probe (WSTP). These probes return samples at near in situ project was to design, test, and manufacture a probe that regimented design methodology. Steps included in the results due to possible gas/fluid separation as the sample returned at formation pressure is hoped to give scientist a Sampling Probe (PWS) and the Water Sample and Temperature sampling system that combined a back pressure piston and scale testing at the Ocean Drilling Programs Annex is the ship operator, and Gulf Coast Core Repository. The objective stages, namely the design stage and the testing and Texas A&M University serves as the science operator, drill the National Science Foundation and 18 member countries. The Ocean Drilling Program is an international research the sampling system allowed sampling of formation fluid with then fabricated by a local machine shop. All components those returned under partial pressure. The objective of this under went quality inspection and were then assembled. Full using these probes are suspected of giving questionable would consistently -return fluid and temperature samples at |
