terms:snorkel
A hollow cylinder at the center of a wireline formation tester pad, serving as the fluid sample intake device. It penetrates unconsolidated formation during operation to avoid undermining of the pad seal by the flowing sand (which is filtered out of the sample intake by a filter in the snorkel).
