Abstract
A method for sampling wellbore fluid, including: lowering a sampling tool into a wellbore, configuring the sampling tool in an open configuration, retrieving a sample of wellbore fluid from the wellbore in a sampling chamber, retaining the sampling tool in an open configuration with a locking mechanism, configuring the sampling tool in a closed configuration, retaining the sampling tool in the closed configuration, and pressurizing the sample with a pressurized fluid in the pressurized chamber. Configuring the sampling tool in the open configuration includes opening fluid communication between the sampling chamber of the sampling tool and the wellbore. Configuring the sampling tool in the closed configuration includes closing fluid communication between the sampling chamber and the wellbore and opening fluid communication between the sampling chamber and the pressurized chamber.
