  • Patent number: 11525080
    Abstract: Compounds are identified that act as crystallization suppressants when added to clear brine fluids, significantly lowering the true crystallization temperatures of the brines, and allowing for higher salt content in clear brine fluids. The crystallization suppressants of the invention also allow for the preparation of higher density zinc free brines. Crystallization suppressant blends are also identified that allow for the preparation of high density clear brine fluids with lower viscosities.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 30, 2020
    Date of Patent: December 13, 2022
    Assignee: LANXESS Corporation
