Sampling fluids

All containers should be clean from contamination.
Containers for live hydrocarbons should be sufficient in size to allow to perform the re-
quired flow assurance and production chemistry tests. The sampling program should be
coordinated with the flow assurance and production chemistry specialists to determine the
required amount of samples.
