Patent number: 9790421Abstract: Disclosed are compositions derived of mixtures of choline ion salts (typically choline chloride) in aqueous solution with suspended particulates of sparingly soluble borate minerals or with alkali or alkaline earth borate salts, boric acid and its ester derivatives and salts, or other aqueous soluble borate forms. These compositions are useful as cross-linkers for polysaccharides and other biopolymers and particularly as used in subterranean treatment fluids for completion and stimulation of oil and gas wells. Advantages of the compositions are the combination into a single package of the properties of clay stabilizing actives (choline ion) and crosslinking actives (borates, etc.), in relatively high concentrations, and these compositions are easy to handle, being stable and pumpable at low temperatures, and with attractive environmental profiles. Also disclosed are the analogous choline solutions mixed with metallic cross-linking ions know in the art such as Zr+, Ti4+, Al3+, & Fe3+.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2014Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: Ecolab USA Inc.Inventors: Jingshe Song, Pious Kurian, Joseph Paul Street, Rhyn Cason

Patent number: 8247593Abstract: A one-pot process of preparing a substituted 7-cyano quinone methide in which i) a substituted phenol is chloromethylated to form a substituted 4-chloromethylphenol; ii) converting the substituted 4-chloromethylphenol to a substituted 4-cyanomethylphenol; and iii) oxidizing the substituted 4-cyanomethylphenol to the substituted 7-cyano quinone methide, where steps i)-iii) are carried out in a single reaction vessel in a solvent system comprising water and one or more organic solvents and where after steps i) and ii) the aqueous portion of the reaction mixture is removed and the reagents for the subsequent step are added in aqueous solution. The 7-cyano quinone methides are effective inhibitors of the polymerization of reactive monomers.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2008Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: Nalco CompanyInventors: Christopher F. Morrison, Joseph Paul Street

Patent number: 7947630Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to compositions and methods for enhanced oil recovery, for modifying the permeability of subterranean formations and for increasing the mobilization and/or recovery rate of hydrocarbon fluids present in the formations. The compositions may include, for example, expandable cross-linked polymeric microparticles having unexpanded volume average particle size diameters of from about 0.05 to about 5,000 microns and cross linking agent contents of from about 100 to about 200,000 ppm of labile cross linkers and from 0 to about 300 ppm of non-labile cross linkers that may be used in combination with other components such as, for example, a second and different polymeric microparticle, a viscosified aqueous solution, a subterranean reservoir treatment, or combinations thereof.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2009Date of Patent: May 24, 2011Assignee: Nalco CompanyInventors: Jeffery M. Atkins, Joseph Paul Street, Kin-Tai Chang, Cathy C. Doucette
