摘要: Described herein are surfactant compositions for use in oil and gas operations. The surfactant compositions are stable under harsh conditions, including in formations that exhibit high salinity, high temperature, and/or high H2S concentration. Also provided are methods of using these compositions. Specifically an aqueous composition comprising: (i) a surfactant package, wherein the surfactant package comprises: (a) a surfactant comprising a branched, unbranched, saturated, or unsaturated C6-C32:80(0-65):PO(0-65):EO(0-100)-X having a concentration within the aqueous composition of from 0.05%-5% by weight, based on the total weight of the aqueous composition, wherein there is at least one BO, PO, or EO group, and wherein X comprises a sulfonate, a disulfonate, a carboxylate, a dicarboxylate, a sulfosuccinate, a disulfosuccinate, or hydrogen: and (b) olefin sulfonate and/or a disulfonate; and (ii) water.

摘要: Embodiments of the disclosure include compositions and methods that stabilize a injection fluid when exposed to reservoir conditions, reducing formation damage and increasing the amount of hydrocarbon recovered. Specifically, the formulation is a single-phase liquid surfactant package which comprises a non-ionic surfactant and optionally one or more secondary surfactants.

摘要: Embodiments of treating fluid comprising hydrocarbons, water, and polymer being produced from a hydrocarbon-bearing formation are provided. One embodiment comprises adding a concentration of a viscosity reducer to the fluid to degrade the polymer present in the fluid and adding a concentration of a neutralizer to the fluid to neutralize the viscosity reducer in the fluid. The addition of the concentration of the viscosity reducer is in a sufficient quantity to allow for complete chemical degradation of the polymer prior to the addition of the concentration of the neutralizer in the fluid such that excess viscosity reducer is present in the fluid. The addition of the concentration of the neutralizer is sufficiently upstream of any surface fluid processing equipment to allow for complete neutralization of the excess viscosity reducer such that excess neutralizer is present in the fluid prior to the fluid reaching any of the surface fluid processing equipment.

摘要: Embodiments of treating fluid comprising hydrocarbons, water, and polymer being produced from a hydrocarbon-bearing formation are provided. One embodiment comprises adding a concentration of a viscosity reducer to the fluid to degrade the polymer present in the fluid and adding a concentration of a neutralizer to the fluid to neutralize the viscosity reducer in the fluid. The viscosity reducer is buffered at a pH of 7 or less (e.g., at a pH of from 2 to 7, such as at a pH of from 3.5 to 7, or at a pH of from 5 to 7). The addition of the concentration of the viscosity reducer is in a sufficient quantity to allow for complete chemical degradation of the polymer prior to the addition of the concentration of the neutralizer in the fluid such that excess viscosity reducer is present in the fluid. The addition of the concentration of the neutralizer is sufficiently upstream of any surface fluid processing equipment to allow for complete neutralization of the excess viscosity reducer such that excess neutralizer is present in the fluid prior to the fluid reaching any of the surface fluid processing equipment.
