Methods and systems are described for isolating or manipulating a sample of a heavy oil composition from a hydrocarbon reservoir. One method embodiment of the invention comprises circulating a heated fluid in a first region of a reservoir where a heavy oil composition is present or believed present using a surface pump and a well completion comprising a downhole pump for a time and flow rate sufficient to produce flowable heavy oil composition, the well completion comprising a sampling tool; and sampling the flowable heavy oil composition using the sampling tool.

Sont décrits des méthodes et des systèmes pour isoler et manipuler un échantillon d'une composition de pétrole lourd d'un gisement d'hydrocarbure. Un mode de réalisation de l'invention comprend la circulation d'un fluide chauffé dans une première région du gisement où se trouve ou est présumée se trouver une composition de pétrole lourd à l'aide d'une pompe de surface et d'un puits au fond duquel est placé une pompe d'un débit suffisant et pendant une période suffisante pour produire une composition de pétrole lourd assez fluide. Dans le puits se trouve un outil d'échantillonnage. La méthode comprend aussi l'échantillonnage de la composition fluide de pétrole lourd à l'aide de l'outil d'échantillonnage.
