Collecting samples from subsea production lines is crucial for optimising operations and ensuring the quality of extracted fluids. With various methods available, choosing the right one depends on factors such as fluid type, operational depth, sampling frequency and the need for automation. For efficient and precise sampling, especially in deepwater, ROV-based sampling can be a feasible option. An underslung skid can be attached to a work-class ROV from a support vessel to assist in sampling from Subsea Trees and Manifolds at depths down to 3000 meters. The system is designed to support automated operations, enhancing safety and reducing the need for manual intervention. Multiple samples can be collected in isobaric or isothermal environments, with a slop handling feature.
