Fluid Sample Processing involves either splitting a fluid sample into different samples or recombining various samples into one sample. Fluid samples are typically recombined in order to simulate the original reservoir fluid. The resulting sample or samples can be further analyzed to determine the physical properties of the new samples.
Fluid samples can be recombined together resulting in new samples. Fluids obtained from the first stage of separation, the primary separator, are frequently recombined in the laboratory to simulate the original reservoir fluid.
� The information about all of the different processing activities that are performed on a sample is stored in the Fluid_Processing class.
� The Fluid_Processing_Sample class will identify which samples have been split into other samples, or which samples have been combined into a new sample.
