    摘要: A method of reducing a density of a density of a stable emulsion drilling fluid may comprise providing a stable emulsion drilling fluid comprising: an aqueous liquid; a biopolymer; an emulsifier; solid particulates; and an oil; wherein the stable emulsion drilling fluid is capable of remaining in quiescent storage at approximately 70° F. and atmospheric pressure without phase separation for about 8 hours or longer; circulating the stable emulsion drilling fluid though a drill string and annulus; adding additional oil to the stable emulsion drilling fluid to decrease the density of the stable emulsion drilling fluid and produce a reduced density stable emulsion drilling fluid; and circulating the reduced density stable emulsion drilling fluid though the drill string and the annulus.

    摘要: A method of drilling a subterranean geological formation is described. The method includes driving a drill bit to form a wellbore into the subterranean geological formation thereby producing a formation fluid including hydrogen sulfide (H2S). The method includes injecting a drilling fluid into the subterranean geological formation through the wellbore. The drilling fluid composition includes 0.25 to 2 wt.% of a primary H2S scavenger which is potassium permanganate. The drilling fluid composition includes an invert emulsion includes a continuous phase including palm oil and a dispersive phase including water. The potassium permanganate present in the drilling fluid composition reacts with the H2S present in the formation fluid to produce a dispersion of manganese-containing particles which are at least one selected from the group consisting of manganese sulfide and manganese sulfate.

    摘要: Wellbore fluids may include an oleaginous continuous phase; a non-oleaginous discontinuous phase; and a polymeric amidoamine emulsifier stabilizing the non-oleaginous discontinuous phase in the oleaginous continuous phase, wherein the polymeric amidoamine emulsifier has at least 5 repeating units. Wellbore fluids may include an oleaginous continuous phase; a non-oleaginous discontinuous phase; and a polymeric amidoamine emulsifier stabilizing the non-oleaginous discontinuous phase in the oleaginous continuous phase, wherein the polymeric amidoamine emulsifier includes at least 3 repeating units selected from allylamine, polyaminopolyamide, N-alkyl acrylamides, (meth)acrylic acid, alkyleneamine reacted with a dicarboxylic acid, alpha-olefin-alt-maleic anhydride, styrene maleic anhydride, alkylene oxide, wherein one or more amine or acid group on the repeating unit is amidized.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for producing mineral oil from underground mineral oil deposits, in which an aqueous formulation comprising at least a mixture of alkyl ether carboxylate and corresponding alkyl ether alcohol, where the alkyl ether carboxylate has been prepared from the alkyl ether alcohol and the molar ratio in the mixture of alkyl ether carboxylate:alkyl ether alcohol is from 51:49 to 92:8, is injected through at least one injection well into a mineral oil deposit, where the deposit has a deposit temperature of 55° C. to 150° C., a crude oil having more than 20° API and a deposit water having more than 100 ppm of divalent cations, and crude oil is withdrawn through at least one production well from the deposit. The invention further relates to the preparation of the mixture and to a concentrate comprising the mixture.

    摘要: Quaternary ammonium compounds and methods of using such compounds to, for example, break oil-in-water emulsion treatment fluids are provided. In some embodiments, such methods include introducing a quaternary ammonium compound into an oil-in-water emulsion treatment fluid that comprises an oleaginous phase and an aqueous phase; and centrifuging at least the portion of the oil-in-water emulsion treatment fluid to separate at least a portion of the oil-in-water emulsion treatment fluid into an oleaginous fluid and an aqueous fluid.
