Armada Sampling System

Halliburtons innovative tubing conveyed carrier for single phase downhole sampling

The Armada sampling system is specifically designed to operate in normal or hostile cased-hole environment for extended periods of time. The smooth bore design with ceramic coated Inconel samplers allows the tool to be run with up to nine samplers plus one or more pressure/temperature gauges to monitor bottomhole conditions. The sampler utilizes a positive displacement sample chamber and a nitrogen pressure compensation system to ensure that the collected sample maintains pressure during recovery.
Annulus Pressure Triggers
The carrier is equipped with three rupture disc ports to enable three samples to be taken during each of the three separate flow periods in the course of a multi-flow well test.
Nitrogen Section

Versatile Configuration
The versatile configuration allows the carrier to be run with up to nine samplers, dictated by the desired recovery pressure. Because a common nitrogen section is used to service all the samplers, running fewer samplers allows for a higher recovery pressure. The carrier can also accommodate a gauge set for monitoring annulus, tubular and common nitrogen pressure.

Applications
Bottomhole sampling by carrier is the preferred sampling method for HP/HT environments or any applications where wireline intervention is considered inappropriate or too expensive in terms of lost rig time.

Benefits
The Armada sampling system has been designed with extreme sour gas wells in mind. The inert nature of the ceramic coated samplers limits not only hazards related to stress corrosion cracking of conventional 17-4 PH sample tools but also facilitates measurement of trace elements such as mercury and H2S. The tool has a smooth bore ID and is equipped with a unique sample junk chamber to ensure optimal sample quality. Because of its unique features, the Armada carrier can be fully assembled and pressure tested at the base before being shipped to location. At location, only the nitrogen chamber needs to be charged and the Armada system is ready to run. This results in significant reduction in time and personnel costs and improved safety.
