Patent number: 8424619Abstract: This invention is based upon the finding that certain chlorosulfonated ?-olefin copolymers can be beneficially utilized in drilling fluids that are utilized in drilling subterreanean wells. For instance, it has been unexpectedly found that certain chlorosulfonated ?-olefin copolymers can be beneficially used as total or partial replacements for organoclays in oil based drilling fluids.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2011Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: Eliokem S.A.S.Inventors: Cecile Mazard, Bertrand Guichard, Andrea Valenti

Patent number: 7998905Abstract: This invention is based upon the finding that certain chlorosulfonated ?-olefin copolymers can be beneficially utilized in drilling fluids that are utilized in drilling subterreanean wells. For instance, it has been unexpectedly found that certain chlorosulfonated ?-olefin copolymers can be beneficially used as total or partial replacements for organoclays in oil based drilling fluids. The chlorosulfonated a-olefin copolymers that are useful in the practice of this invention are typically chlorosulfonated ethylene/octene copolymers or chlorosulfonated ethylene/butene copolymers. The utilization of chlorosulfonated ?-olefin copolymers in oil-based drilling fluids offers (1) long service life at high operating temperatures, (2) minimal formation damage, (3) improved filtration behavior, and (4) highly effective performance at low viscosifier levels.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2008Date of Patent: August 16, 2011Assignee: Eliokem S.A.S.Inventors: Cecile Mazard, Bertrand Guichard, Andrea Valenti

For instance, it has been unexpectedly found that certain chlorosulfonated ?-olefin copolymers can be beneficially used as total or partial replacements for organoclays in oil based drilling fluids. The chlorosulfonated ?-olefin copolymers that are useful in the practice of this invention are typically chlorosulfonated ethylene/octene copolymers or chlorosulfonated ethylene/butene copolymers. The chlorosulfonated ?-olefin copolymers will contain from 0.2 to 5 weight percent sulfur. The utilization of chlorosulfonated ?-olefin copolymers in oil-based drilling fluids offers (1) long service life at high operating temperatures, (2) minimal formation damage, (3) improved filtration behavior, and (4) highly effective performance at low viscosifier levels.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 2, 2008Publication date: October 9, 2008Applicant: ELIOKEM S.A.S.Inventors: Cecile Mazard, Bertrand Guichard, Andrea Valenti
