The application provides an electrical system with online sampling and check function and its check method for high-voltage and medium-voltage electrical equipment, including electrical equipment, gas density relay, gas density sensor, valve, pressure regulating mechanism, online check contact signal sampling unit and intelligent control unit. The pressure is increased or decreased by the pressure regulating mechanism to enable the contact action of the gas density relay of electrical equipment. The contact action is transmitted to the intelligent control unit through the online check contact signal sampling unit. The intelligent control unit detects the alarm and/or blocking contact signal operating value and/or return value according to the density value of the contact action; the check of the gas density relay can be completed without maintenance personnel on site, which greatly improves the reliability of the power grid and the work efficiency, and reduces the O&M cost. At the same time, it also realizes the mutual self-inspection between gas density relay and gas density sensor, and further realizes the maintenance-free.

Methods of determining if a test fluid is inert to reservoir oil at RTP, by assaying a composition, density and bubble or dew point of live oil to generate a first dataset, equilibrating a sample of live oil with a test fluid at RTP to generate an oil phase; assaying a composition, density and bubble or dew point of the oil phase to generate a second dataset; comparing the first and second datasets, wherein significant changes in the datasets indicate that the test fluid is not inert to reservoir oil at RTP. By contrast, if there are no significant changes, the test fluid is inert, and would therefore be suitable to collecting core samples at RTP. Various options for inert fluids are also provided.
