A single phase sampling apparatus and method for retrieving a formation fluid sample at or above the bubble point of the sample. The apparatus utilizes a gas charge contained between a sample piston (1) and a charging piston (3) to maintain a formation sample at the desired pressure. The charging piston utilizes the hydrostatic pressure present at the depth of the desired formation sample to compress and therefore increase the gas charge to the appropriate pressure necessary to maintain the formation sample at the desired pressure. The utilization of hydrostatic pressure to increase the pressure of the gas charge allows the use of a low pressure gas charging system to prepare the apparatus prior to sampling, thereby increasing the safety and ease of use of the device.

L'invention concerne un appareil et un procédé d'échantillonnage en une seule phase permettant d'extraire un échantillon de fluide de formation dépassant le point de bulle de l'échantillon. Cet appareil utilise une charge gazeuse présente entre un piston d'échantillonnage (1) et un piston de chargement (3) afin de maintenir un échantillon de formation à la pression souhaitée. Le piston de chargement utilise la pression hydrostatique présente au fond de l'échantillon de formation souhaité pour comprimer et, par conséquent, élever la charge gazeuse à la pression appropriée nécessaire pour maintenir l'échantillon de formation à la pression souhaitée. L'utilisation de la pression hydrostatique pour augmenter la pression de la charge gazeuse permet d'avoir recours à un système de chargement à basse pression afin de préparer l'appareil avant l'échantillonnage et de renforcer ainsi la sécurité et la facilité d'utilisation du dispositif.
