    Abstract: An effective stress corrosion cracking (SCC) inhibiting amount of a corrosion inhibitor is added into a blend of fuel and ethanol that contacts a metal, wherein the corrosion inhibitor is an organic acid selected from citric acid, ascorbic acid, succinic acid, pyruvic acid, maleic acid, oxaloacetic acid, oxalosuccinic acid, ketoglutaric acid, isocitric acid, malic acid, aconitic acid, fumaric acid, isomers of these organic acids, and a combination thereof. For example, the corrosion inhibitors inhibit stress corrosion cracking of pipeline grade metal pipe at ethanol concentrations greater than fifteen percent. In one embodiment, the corrosion inhibitor is added into a blend of fuel and ethanol flowing through a pipeline at a plurality of injection points spaced apart along the length of the pipeline. In one option, the corrosion inhibitor is ammoniated to form the ammonium salt of the organic acid. In another option, the foregoing corrosion inhibitors are used in combination with one or more conventional corrosion inhibitors in an amount that is effective to inhibit general corrosion.

    Abstract: A method for quantitative evaluation of emulsion stability using Critical Electric Field (CEF) determinations over a range of conditions, such as a range of temperatures, demulsifier compositions, or demulsifier concentrations. The method includes determining the CEF for a series of emulsions that differ substantially only in their internal phase volume ratio. A plot of CEF values as a function of the inverse of the internal phase volume ratio is characterized by a linear slope. Using the slope, a theoretical CEF value can be determined by extrapolating to where the inverse of the internal phase volume ratio is about one. The slope for a given emulsion series is associated with the relative energy barrier to flocculation and the theoretical critical electric field for a given emulsion series is associated with the relative energy barrier to coalescence. Comparative studies are performed using this method.

    Abstract: Air and ammonia gas are introduced into a subterranean formation during the in-situ combustion to increase the mobility of hydrocarbons in a subterranean formation and facilitate recovery of the hydrocarbons from the subterranean formation. The air supports in-situ combustion of a portion of the hydrocarbon within the subterranean formation to form water and establish a combustion front. The ammonia gas contacts the hydrocarbons ahead of the combustion front and reacts in-situ with naphthenic acid in the hydrocarbon to form a surfactant. The hydrocarbons, water and surfactant then form an oil-in-water emulsion that drains more freely through the formation. A production well, in fluid communication with the hydrocarbons ahead of the combustion front, may be used to remove the oil-in-water emulsion from the subterranean formation.

    Abstract: This invention discloses, compositions of aqueous fluids comprising one or more dispersion polymer(s), wherein the dispersion polymer comprises 96 to 100 mole percent of one or more nonionic monomer units and 0 to 4 mole percent of one or more cationic or anionic monomer units; and has a molecular weight of at least 100,000. The invention also discloses the method(s) of using one or more such dispersion polymer(s), comprising adding to or mixing with the aqueous fluid a friction-reducing amount of the polymer(s), before, during or after a turbulent flow is induced. Nonionic dispersion polymers consistently render substantially greater extents of friction reduction than their ionic counterparts. A dispersion polymer (formed by dispersion polymerization) provides up to four times as much friction reduction as the same polymer in solution when used at the same dosage. Moreover, unlike ionic dispersion polymers, nonionic dispersion polymers are intrinsically compatible with charged oilfield species such as multi-valence brine(s), quaternary amine-based corrosion inhibitors and biocides.

    Abstract: Alkyl phosphonates prepared from amino acids suitable for use in inhibiting scale. The phosphonates are obtained as reaction mixtures where the level of alkyl phosphonation is deliberately controlled to provide only partial alkyl phosphonation of the amino acid. The resulting alkyl phosphonates exhibit improved environmental properties compared to the fully substituted species, while still exhibiting acceptable efficacy in the control of scale. The compositions possess advantages over existing phosphonates in that they exhibit higher biodegradation by method OECD 306. They also offer lower toxicity to marine life compared to the fully substituted species and are not expected to bioaccumulate.
