Abstract

A method and apparatus according to which one or more zones of interest within a hydrocarbon wellbore are tested. In several exemplary embodiments, the apparatus includes a drill collar section including an outer surface, a pocket accessible through an aperture in the outer surface, a bottle assembly disposed within the pocket, and an intermediate clamp coupled to the outer surface and spanning the pocket. In several exemplary embodiments, the intermediate clamp has an axial length less than an axial length of the bottle assembly. The intermediate clamp is adapted to at least partially retain a sample bottle assembly within the pocket when the sample bottle drill collar section is disposed within the hydrocarbon wellbore. In several exemplary embodiments, the drill collar section further includes at least one of: one or more spacers disposed within the pocket and an epoxy disposed within the pocket.
