摘要:
A process for preparing a fluid additive comprises (1) mixing a viscosifier such as a water-soluble polymer with water to form a viscosified water; (2) contacting a glycol-based polymer with the viscosified water followed by mixing to prepare a glycol-viscosified water mixture; and (3) contacting at least one sulfonated asphalt with the glycol-viscosified water mixture wherein the fluid additive comprises water, a viscosifier, a glycol-based polymer, and at least one sulfonated asphalt. Also disclosed is a process for using the fluid additive in drilling applications.
摘要:
An additive to reduce fluid loss from drilling fluids is comprised of comminuted products from the rice plant or blends of other comminuted plant materials with the rice products. Polymers to reduce fluid loss even lower and friction-reducing materials may be added to the plant materials.
摘要:
The present invention provides a modified liquid phase drilling fluid having desirable properties of shale swelling inhibition, lubrication, and high temperature performance. The fluid does not rely on the incorporation of inorganic salts or high molecular weight water soluble polymers for control of shale swelling or shale disintegration and exhibits performance characteristics, approaching those of oil base drilling fluids, without the objectionable properties of hydrocarbon oils or its potential hazardous impact on the environment. The fluid is comprised of the following: (1) a liquid phase containing; (a) a water phase comprising fresh water, seawater, brine, simulated brine, or mixtures thereof; and (b) a water-soluble component selected from the class consisting of polyhydric alcohols, glycol, glycol ethers, polypropylene glycols, polyethylene glycols, ethylene oxide-propylene oxide copolymers ("EO-PO"), alcohol-initiated EO-PO copolymers and/or mixtures thereof, the ratio of said water-soluble component in the total liquid phase being from about 5% to about 50% by volume; (2) a viscosifier for suspension of solids in said liquid phase; and (3) a filtration control agent. The fluid with the water soluble component will exhibit a lubricity coefficient lower than that for substantially the same fluid without the water soluble component as determined by the American Petroleum Institute's "Procedure for Determination of Lubricity Coefficient (Tentative)" (1980), and the linear swelling on a reconstituted "gumbo" shale inserted for about 60 minutes of said drilling fluid being from lower than that for substantially the same fluid without the water soluble component, as measured by the "Swelling Test", "Rigsite Shale Evaluation Techniques for Control of Shale-related Wellbore Instability Problems", SPE/IADC Paper No. 16054, pages 52-53, (1987).
摘要:
Solid sodium bromide and aqueous sodium bromide solutions incorporate sodium tartrate and one or more amides of nitrolotriacetic acid in order to inhibit floc formation in aqueous sodium bromide solutions in the pH range 6-12 and in order to insure that the solid sodium bromide is free flowing.
摘要:
Industrial liquids containing viscoelastic surfactant compositions can be reversibly thickened and broken. For example, a thickened industrial liquid can exhibit good solids carrying capacity, and after the viscosity of the liquid is broken, using techniques such as change in pH, addition of a hydrocarbon, change in temperature, etc., the solids can be easily removed therefrom. Viscosity can be again provided to the industrial liquid without the necessity of adding substantial amounts of additional thickener.

摘要:
There are provided polymeric pyrrolidinium methanesulfonate viscosifiers which are useful in chemical waterflooding and in drilling fluids. These compounds may be formed by an unexpected cyclization reaction of quaternary diallyl amino groups on polymeric backbones involving the reaction of such groups with bisulfite salts.
摘要:
There is provided an aqueous brine fluid containing an N-heterocyclic organophosphorus compound which serves to increase the viscosity thereof. These viscosified brine fluids are particularly useful in drilling operations, most especially as solids-free drilling, completion, packer and workover fluids for drilling operations involving deep wells.
摘要:
Removal of ambient oxygen from aqueous liquids is effectively catalyzed by enzymatic deoxygenation systems comprising alcohol oxidase in the presence of alcohol optionally with catalase. Suitable deoxygenation systems described can be used to alleviate corrosion and oxidative degradation in areas such as oil field fluids, circulating water systems, water storage tanks, alcoholic beverages and foodstuffs. As desired, the enzymatic systems can be immobilized on supports or used in solution.
摘要:
2,6,8-Trimethyl-4-nonanone and the triethoxylated derivative of 2,6,8-Trimethyl-4-nonanol synergistically combine to reduce the foaming of heavy brines containing zinc bromide and one or more soluble salts from the group calcium chloride and calcium bromide.
