I am going to collect the crude oil samples for oil-oil correlation in plastic bottles/canes. Is there any chance that it will contaminate my crude oils i.e. the plastic bottles will contaminate my crude oils! Need assistance, tomorrow is my field.
Glass bottles are preferable. Please avoid plastic and metal containers. Use Teflon around threads then tight it up the bottle. Label each bottle with sample number, depth, date, reservoir name, field name, well name.
Of course that glass bottles are more appropriate than those of plastic for collecting oil, even bacause plastic recipients can contaminates the products with phthalates, thus they must be avoided for this kind of collection.
