  • Publication number: 20240117239
    Abstract: Hydrate inhibitor and corrosion inhibitor composition are disclosed and include from about 10 wt-% to about 99.9 wt-% of an anti-agglomerant low dose hydrate inhibitor (AA-LDHI), wherein the AA-LDHI is a zwitterionic compound or a cationic ammonium compound; from about 0.01 wt-% to about 50 wt-% of a corrosion inhibitor, and at least one additional functional ingredient, solvent, or a combination thereof. Methods for inhibiting corrosion and formation of gas hydrate agglomerants in a fluid are disclosed and include contacting the fluid with a hydrate inhibitor and corrosion inhibitor composition or contacting the fluid with an AA-LDHI, wherein the AA-LDHI is a zwitterionic compound or a cationic ammonium compound, and a corrosion inhibitor, wherein the AA-LDHI and corrosion inhibitor are provided at a weight ratio of about 1:0.001 to about 1:1, and wherein the composition inhibits general and localized corrosion and formation of gas hydrate agglomerants in the fluid.

  • Publication number: 20240060188
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for use with hydrogen gas. A method may include adding hydrogen gas to a medium and adding a production chemical to the medium. As examples, the production chemical may be a corrosion inhibitor, an anti-foulant, a hydrate anti-agglomerate, a kinetic hydrate inhibitor, an amine for gas sweetening, a regenerable H2S scavenger, a non-regenerable H2S scavenger, an alcohol for gas dehydration, an alcohol for hydrate control, a thermodynamic hydrate inhibitor, or any combination thereof. The present disclosure also provides test methods to determine the susceptibility of a production chemical to reaction with hydrogen gas.
