    Abstract: A two-port, coaxial, waveguide flowline sensor for transmitting TEM mode electromagnetic radio frequency signals through borehole fluids flowing through a longitudinal flowline cavity of the waveguide. The waveguide flowline sensor responds to changes in the conductivity, dielectric constant, and state of the fluid at high borehole temperatures and pressures. The sensitivity of the sensor is enhanced by impedance mismatches between two feedthrough waveguides comprising the ports of the sensor, and a flowline cavity waveguide.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for maintaining the single phase integrity of a deep well formation sample that is removed to the surface comprises a vacuum jacket insulated single working cylinder divided by two free pistons into three variable volume chambers. The intermediate chamber is pre-charged with a fixed quantity of high pressure gas. Wellbore fluid freely admitted to one end chamber bears against one free piston to further compress the gas. The formation sample is pumped into the other end chamber to first, displace the wellbore fluid from the first end chamber and, sequentially, to further compress the gas to preserve the sample phase state upon removal to the surface.
