摘要： Anti-accretion additives utilize silicone chemistry to prevent bituminous and heavy oil materials from sticking to metals surfaces such as drill bits, drillstring, casing and the like. Organopolysiloxanes and/or copolymers thereof are added directly to an aqueous drilling fluid or are first diluted in a solvent for adding to the drilling fluid. Further, an alkyl polyalkylene oxide may also be added. If a silicone oil is used as the solvent, the anti-accretion additive has the increased functionality of minimizing the amount of bituminous or heavy oil material which is retained in the drilling fluid when returned to surface and permits removal of the bituminous or heavy oil materials with the solids using conventional solids control equipment.

摘要： A substantially liquid gellant formed as one or more reaction products of a metal carboxylate or metal carboxylate amine salt, one or more organic acids, an ester which drives the reaction so that the reaction products are asymmetrical in structure, and a rheology modifier which preferentially interacts between the reaction products for prevent solidifying of the gellant reaction products until such time as the gellant is mixed with the fracturing fluid containing an activator after which the reaction products preferentially interact with the activator to gel the fracturing fluid. The resulting gellant is capable of gelling a hydrocarbon base fluid in less than about 30 seconds.

摘要： A method of recovering hydrocarbon or synthetic base oils from used oil-based drilling mud utilizes acid to deactivate emulsifiers in the drilling mud for altering the emulsion stability and permitting removal of the solids contained in the drilling mud using conventional separation such as centrifugation. A surfactant is typically added to prevent water-wetting as a result of the addition of the acid. The recovered base oil contains substantially all of the deactivated emulsifiers, which can be reactivated through the addition of lime, allowing new drilling fluids to be prepared without the need to add significant amounts of emulsifier to the recycled base oil.

摘要： A packer fluid is provided for use with a wellbore fluid in an annulus or casing bore, having an aqueous portion which contains additives for preventing corrosion, microbiological activity, salt and scale deposition, and an environmentally-acceptable capping fluid which resides at a top of the wellbore to act as freeze protection and as thermal insulation in a the frost penetration layer. The additives in the packer fluid are particularly selected to exist in the aqueous additive fluid and in the wellbore fluid and to be substantially immiscible with the capping fluid and thereby prevent significant migration of the additives into the capping fluid which would compromise its environmental acceptability.

摘要： A clay stabilizer which is capable of inhibiting swelling in a wide variety of clay types and is also capable of restoring permeability in formations which have previously been damaged by clay swelling. Amine salts of differing molecular weights configurations and ionic strength are combined to provide transport into micropores, mesopores and macropores in the formation and to effect cationic change therein. A poly quaternary amine having a high to very high charge density is added along with lower molecular weight amine salts to substantially permanently exchange cations with the clay in the formation.

摘要： Acute graft versus host disease (GvHD) is one of the most significant clinical problems in allogeneic blood and marrow transplantation. Currently, there is no unequivocal diagnostic test for GvHD until the disease is well developed and can be recognized histologically. The invention provides a blood based test for diagnosis and/or prognosis of GvHD, allowing assessment of risk for developing GvHD prior to appearance of clinical symptoms. Using flow cytometry, peripheral blood mononuclear cells are assessed for an increase in proportion and fluctuation of CD3+CD4+CD8β+ cells. An increase in presence or proportion, or high fluctuation in this cell population prior to onset of clinically recognized indicators of GvHD is predictive of later development of GvHD.
