Abstract
A high pressure core chamber for use in collecting pressurized core samples from a reservoir is equipped with at least two high pressure access valves, allowing the core chamber to also function as a vessel for various high pressure experiments. In some embodiments, the core chamber is also equipped with a heater, allowing high pressure, high temperature experiments, and thus duplicating reservoir conditions. Various assays using the core chamber are also described.
