Abstract
Introduction. The idea that downhole samples can only be taken in anhydrous wells often creates an unfavorable situation when wells with watered products are not even considered candidates for work. Meanwhile, modern equipment and technology of geophysical research and work in wells (GIRS) presents many possibilities for improving the qualitative study of the reservoir by taking downhole samples.
Purpose. The purpose of this work is to review and systematize the technical means available on the market to solve this problem.
Methods. The developed classification is based on the analysis of open sources and expert surveys.
Results. A classification of modern methods and approaches to deep sampling in flooded streams is presented. Specific technical solutions and directions of design thought are analyzed.
Conclusion. It is recommended to use the proposed classification for the selection of technical solutions when performing tasks for sampling reservoir fluids and well testing.
