Abstract: Automatic Sampling is one of the measurement methods most used to determine the quality of crude oil and condensate feeds, i.e. the water content and crude composition. As with all moving parts, automatic samplers are subject to wear. Especially in the cases of maturing production fields or locations where sand in combination with high pressure can be present, premature leaking of the sampler can occur. A new sampling design containing an innovative zero-leakage-valve was found to cope with these harsh environments. The new sampling technology was tested on multiple locations e.g. on Oselvar tie in to Ula and on Valhall export oil and compared by Aker BP to traditional sampling designs from different brands not having a zero-leakage-valve. Tests were performed on different crude oil/water mixtures.
