1.INTRODUCTION
The vortex High pressure Gas Sampling tool is designed to capture gas and liquid samples in a
subsea environment and recover said samples to the surface in a high pressure state of no more
than 1800psi (124bar) by means of an electro mechanical operated syringe to ingest sample then
purge sample into a sample bottle after recovery to surface.
This tool is designed to be deployed from the surface with the bottle bled of air and a vacuum
entrained in the system. Sample filling relies on the entrained vacuum and ambient water
pressure filling the bottle when the main isolation valve is operated.
