The present invention relates generally to an apparatus and method to obtain a bitumen or heavy oil sample from an oil reservoir sample, such as a core sample, to enable measurement of physical properties such as viscosity, API gravity, and/or chemical properties such as sulphur content of the obtained bitumen or heavy oil sample. The samples collected in accordance with the invention are rapidly obtained, and are of high and equivalent quality to conventional extraction techniques. Subsequent analyses performed on the samples obtained in accordance with the invention are effective in assisting oil field operators in making timely drilling and production decisions at the oil reservoir or for routine laboratory extraction of oils and bitumens. The invention also permits the collection of samples from simulated thermal recovery operations and also allows the collection of bitumens and oils for online analysis of live oil physical properties.
