Abstract: A composition comprising expandable cross linked polymeric microparticles having an unexpanded volume average particle size diameter of from about 0.05 to about 10 microns and a cross linking agent content of from about 9,000 to about 200,000 ppm of labile cross linkers and from 0 to about 300 ppm of non-labile cross linkers. The composition is used for modifying the permeability of subterranean formations and increasing the mobilization and/or recovery rate of hydrocarbon fluids present in the formations.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for making and a method for using a corrosion inhibitor composition to reduce the corrosion rate of a metal by a fluid containing a corrosion agent. The corrosion inhibitor composition comprises at least a quaternized compound. Examples of the quaternized compound are quaternized imino imidazolines and quaternized amido imidazolines.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for making and a method for using a corrosion inhibitor composition to reduce the corrosion rate of a metal by a fluid containing a corrosion agent. The corrosion inhibitor composition comprises at least a quaternized compound having a substituted diethylamino moiety. Examples of the quaternized compound having a substituted diethylamino moiety are quaternized diacrylamino imidazolines.
Abstract: A water-soluble branched polyhydroxyetheramine, wherein the branched polyhydroxyetheramine is prepared by reacting an amine having two reactive hydrogen atoms with a diepoxide to form a polyhydroxyetheramine and then reacting the polyhydroxyetheramine with an N-alkylating agent, an aqueous composition comprising the branched polyhydroxyetheramine and use of the branched polyhydroxyetheramine to modify the permeability to water of a subterranean formation are disclosed.
