  • Patent number: 7226896
    Abstract: An organic based emulsion-breaking formulation for use in treating well bores drilled in oil-bearing mud that is not eco-toxic and is optimally compatible with formation fluids comprises: as the emulsion-breaking agent, at least one constituent selected from non-ionic amphiphilic compositions obtained by reacting at least one polymerized vegetable oil with at least one aminoalcohol and alkyl esters (for example C1 to C8) of fatty acids derived from natural, vegetable or animal oils; optionally, at least one wetting agent selected from anionic surfactants; and optionally at least one solvent; the assembly being as a mixture in an organic base. Such a formulation can be weighted by mineral fillers.

  • Patent number: 7160843
    Abstract: An oil-based demulsifying formulation which can be used in the treatment of drains bored in oil-based mud, non ecotoxic and optimally compatible with formation fluids, comprises at least one wetting agent chosen from anionic surfacetants and at least one demulsifier (or “emulsion breaker”) chosen from copolymers of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, alcohol or phenol derivatives with alkoxylated or polyalkoxylated chain formations, polyalkyleneglycols, polyamines, alkoxylated or polyalkoxylated derivatives of amines, quaternary ammonium salts, quaternized alkanolamine esters, alkyl esters of fatty acids or natural oils, possible alkoxylated or polyalkoxylated, and silicated derivatives such as polysiloxanes.
