Abstract
Disclosed are methods, systems, and devices for measuring and otherwise processing core samples. In some embodiments, a method includes containing a core sample in a containment vessel including dynamically adjusting pressure within the containment vessel to maintain a phase of fluid within the core sample. Pressure is reduced within the containment vessel. During pressure or following reduction, one or more properties of the fluid in the core sample are measured.
