摘要:
The present invention provides an improved metal corrosion inhibitor for use in aqueous acid solutions which is relatively non-toxic and inexpensive. The corrosion inhibitor is a mixture comprised of oligomerized aromatic amines prepared by contacting the still bottoms residue produced in the distillation of quinoline from coal tar with oxygen in the presence of a catalyst.

Methods and compositions for reducing the precipitation of metal sulfides from acid solutions are provided. The methods basically comprise reducing the precipitation of metal sulfide compounds from an aqueous acid solution when the solution dissolves sulfide and metal ions by combining at least one oxime with the acid solution in an amount whereby the oxime preferentially reacts with sulfide ions in the solution and thereby prevents the sulfide ions from reacting with metal ions therein.

The present disclosure addressed apparatus and methods for forming an annular isolator in a borehole after installation of production tubing. Annular seal means are carried in or on production tubing as it is run into a borehole. In conjunction with expansion of the tubing, the seal is deployed to form an annular isolator. An inflatable element carried on the tubing may be inflated with a fluid carried in the tubing and forced into the inflatable element during expansion of the tubing. Reactive chemicals may be carried in the tubing and injected into the annulus to react with each other and ambient fluids to increase in volume and harden into an annular seal. An elastomeric sleeve, ring or band carried on the tubing may be expanded into contact with a borehole wall and may have its radial dimension increased in conjunction with tubing expansion to form an annular isolator.

An acidizing composition and a method of acidizing a hydrocarbon bearing subterranean formation in the presence of ferric ions are provided. The acidizing composition includes an aqueous mineral acid solution, an electron donor agent and an electron transfer agent, the electron transfer agent being a source of molybdenum ions. When the aqueous mineral acid solution includes hydrochloric acid in an amount greater than approximately 17% by weight, the acidizing composition further includes a supplemental electron transfer agent, the supplemental electron transfer agent being a source of iodide ion or iodine. The electron donor agent and electron transfer agent function together to reduce ferric ion present in the mineral acid solution to ferrous ion which in turn prevents ferric hydroxide and/or free sulfur from precipitating out of the solution and reduces the formation of sludge in crude oil in the formation.

An acidizing composition and a method of acidizing a hydrocarbon bearing subterranean formation in the presence of ferric ions are provided. The acidizing composition includes a strong mineral acid solution, an electron donor agent, a primary electron transfer agent and a secondary electron transfer agent. The primary electron transfer agent is a source of rhenium ions. The secondary electron transfer agent is a source of iodide ion or iodine. The electron donor agent and primary and secondary electron transfer agents function together to reduce ferric ion present in the mineral acid solution to ferrous ion which in turn prevents ferric hydroxide and/or free sulfur from precipitating out of the solution and reduces the formation of sludge in crude oil in the formation. The particular electron transfer agents used in connection with the invention function with virtually all known electron donor agents.
