    Abstract: Compositions may contain an oleaginous base fluid, and a branched amidoamine surfactant prepared from the reaction of an alkylene amine or an oligoalkylene amine and a branched acid having a C4 to C24 primary hydrocarbon chain, and having one or more C1 to C24 branches. Methods may include emplacing a wellbore fluid into a wellbore, wherein the wellbore fluid contains an oleaginous base fluid; and a branched amidoamine surfactant prepared from the reaction of an alkylene amine or an oligoalkylene amine and a branched acid having a C4 to C24 primary hydrocarbon chain, and having one or more C1 to C24 branches.

    Abstract: Methods may include quantifying the concentration of residual free amine and/or free carboxylic acid in a product mixture prepared from a reaction of a multireactive species and a fatty reagent; verifying that the concentration for the free amine and/or free acid in the product mixture is within an acceptable threshold for a given application; and combining the product mixture with one or more wellbore fluid components to generate the wellbore fluid. In another aspect, methods may include including reacting the multireactive species and a fatty reactant to generate a product mixture; quantifying the concentration of residual free amine and/or free carboxylic acid in the product mixture; verifying that the concentration for the free amine and/or free acid in the product mixture is within an acceptable threshold for a given application; and collecting the product mixture.

    Abstract: Wellbore fluids may include an oleaginous continuous phase; a non-oleaginous discontinuous phase; and an emulsifier stabilizing the non-oleaginous discontinuous phase in the oleaginous continuous phase, wherein the emulsifier is the product of a reaction between an alkyl cyclic anhydride and a polar reactant, wherein the polar reactant is one or more selected from a group containing alkyl amine, alkanolamine, and polyamine. Methods may include drilling a wellbore with an oil-based mud, wherein the oil-based mud is an invert emulsion containing an emulsifier stabilizing the invert emulsion, wherein the emulsifier is the product of a reaction between an alkyl cyclic anhydride and a polar reactant, wherein the polar reactant is one or more selected from the group of alkyl amine, alkanolamine, and polyamine.

    Abstract: Systems and methods measure one or more rheological properties and/or parameters of a fluid and establish at least one correlation between the measured one or more rheological properties and/or parameters. The systems and methods may correlate the measured one or more rheological properties and/or parameters to static aging results to establish the at least one correlation between the one or more rheological properties and/or parameters of the fluid. The systems and methods may predict at least one sagging tendency of the fluid based on the established at least one correlation and may measure and/or monitor static sagging of the fluid based on the predicted at least one sagging tendency of the fluid. The systems and methods may guide fluid treatment of the fluid or produce a mud system based on the predicted at least one sagging tendency of the fluid.
