  • Publication number: 20220275126
    Abstract: Random terpolymers are characterized for being tolerant to high concentrations of divalent ions, such as calcium, magnesium, strontium and barium, and that for their application in the reservoir or production rig, treated water, sea water and/or connate water can be used as means of transportation. Furthermore, the terpolymer also can be used to inhibit and disperse mineral scales presents in cooling system and boiler employed in the chemical and oil industry. Also, random terpolymers of the present invention have the characteristic of complying with environmental standards established internationally and are classified as particularly non-toxic, so it can be used in pipes and equipment of the petrochemical industry and with the use characteristic freshwater and seawater from offshore and onshore facilities.

  • Patent number: 11384187
    Abstract: The present invention is related to the process of obtaining random terpolymers based on itaconic acid or its isomers, aconitic acid or their isomers and sodium alkenyl sulphonates, through a polymerization in aqueous solution, via free radicals at acid pH in the range of 1.0 to 3.5 and as initiator a redox system. The random terpolymers are characterized for being tolerant to high concentrations of divalent ions, such as calcium, magnesium, strontium and barium. Their use as inhibitors of mineral scale such as calcium carbonate, calcium sulphate, strontium and barium, and clay dispersing, iron oxides, carbonate and calcium sulfate allows for their application in the reservoir or production rig, treated water, sea water and/or connate water can be used as means of transportation. The terpolymer can be used to inhibit and disperse mineral scales present in cooling system and boiler employed in the chemical and oil industry, and is compliant with environmental standards established internationally.

  • Patent number: 11046605
    Abstract: Random copolymers from itaconic acid and/or isomers and sodium alkenyl sulfonates are obtained by polymerization in an aqueous solution via free radicals at an acidic pH in the range from 1.0 to 3.5 and with a redox system as initiator were described. The copolymers can be used as calcium carbonate and calcium, strontium and barium sulfates mineral scale inhibitors and as dispersants of clays, iron oxides, calcium carbonate and strontium, barium and calcium sulfates. Random copolymers prevent and control damage in an oil reservoir, obstruction of water injection and crude oil production pipelines, and in production rigs due to mineral scale precipitation caused by high levels of salinity of the injection water and formation water. Random copolymers are tolerant to high concentrations of divalent ions, such as calcium, magnesium, strontium and barium, and can be added to the reservoir and to injection or production pipelines, treated water, sea water and water that is used as means of transportation.
