摘要:
The present disclosure provides chemical compositions useful for minimizing or preventing the precipitation of sludge, such as asphaltenes, maltenes, or similar asphaltic components, during an acidizing treatment. Methods for preventing or minimizing sludge formation are also disclosed. The anti-sludge compositions can be added to an aqueous acidic solution before injecting the solution into a well for treatment. The compositions can include a formulated dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid, a cationic surfactant, a corrosion inhibitor, and an iron reducing agent, in addition to other additives.
摘要:
Treatment fluids containing biodegradable chelating agents can be used in various treatment methods. The methods can comprise providing a treatment fluid that comprises an aqueous base fluid and a chelating agent composition, and introducing the treatment fluid into at least a portion of a subterranean formation. The treatment fluids can also be used for treatment of pipes or tubing such as, for example, well bore pipes or tubing penetrating a subterranean formation and above-ground pipelines. Illustrative biodegradable chelating agents include, but are not limited to, glutamic acid diacetic acid, methylglycine diacetic acid, &bgr;-alanine diacetic acid, S,S-ethylenediaminedisuccinic acid, iminodisuccinic acid, hydroxyiminodisuccinic acid, any salt thereof, any derivative thereof, and any combination thereof. The treatment fluids can optionally comprise an acid, which can include hydrofluoric acid or a hydrofluoric acid generating compound.
摘要:
The invention relates to polymers the aqueous solutions of which have a rheofluidifying behaviour that increases with temperature. These polymers comprise a water-soluble skeleton incorporating segments or bearing side chains having a Lower Critical Solution Temperature ("LCST" property). Applications to the chemical and oil industries, in particular for their controlled anti-settling properties and, most especially, to the field of drilling muds, as well as other technical sectors using this property, such as cosmetics, the food processing industry or any other industry in which there arise problems relating to the stability of a suspension in an aqueous solution of solid particles having sizes of less than a few millimeters.
