Abstract
Formation fluid sampled from within a wellbore is separated into gas and liquid fractions while downhole and in a wellbore. A separator vessel is used to isolate the gas and liquid fractions from one another. Baffles are arranged in a staggered formation within the separator vessel and in the path of the flow of the sampled formation fluid. Contact with the baffles perturbs the flow of sampled formation fluid, which promotes escape of the gas fraction from the fluid. The gas fraction is ported from an upper end of the sample vessel to a sample bottle for analysis. The liquid fraction collects in a lower end of the sample vessel, and is discharged into the wellbore.
