Abstract: Compositions for decreasing friction may comprise an optional carrier fluid, and one or more reaction products. The one or more reaction products may be formable from Component 1 and Component 2; and an acid and water combined therewith after one or more initial reaction products have formed. A, B and D are independently branched or unbranched, cyclic or acyclic, substituted or unsubstituted, saturated or unsaturated C1-C100 hydrocarbyl groups. Z is a nucleophilic group selected from OH, SH and NH2, and X is a leaving group. Downhole methods may comprise introducing a wellbore fluid comprising the reaction product(s) into a subterranean formation.

Abstract: Disclosed are processes for conversion of a feedstock comprising C8+ aromatic hydrocarbons to lighter aromatic products in which the feedstock and optionally hydrogen are contacted in the presence of the catalyst composition under conversion conditions effective to dealkylate and transalkylate said C8+ aromatic hydrocarbons to produce said lighter aromatic products comprising benzene, toluene and xylene. The catalyst composition comprises a zeolite, a first metal, and a second metal, and is treated with a source of sulfur and/or a source of steam.

Abstract: The disclosure relate generally to structures, forms, and monoliths, and methods of preparing the same. This disclosure can produce uniform structured passageways or channels of active material, including adsorbent or catalyst, by imprinting or molding features into a paste on a support that can be subsequently assembled into a gas or liquid treating structure, i.e. a monolith. The paste, which can include an active material, binder, and other potential additives, can be applied to the support or pushed through a support (as in a mesh) as a thin film. The paste can be imprinted, stamped, shaped or otherwise handled to give features of desired height, shape, width, and positioning. When stacked or rolled, the features of one layer contact a subsequent layer, which seal to form passageways. The resulting structure can have high cell-density (>1000 cells per square inch) and a large volume fraction of active material.

Abstract: Disclosed are processes for conversion of a feedstock comprising C8+ aromatic hydrocarbons to lighter aromatic products in which the feedstock and optionally hydrogen are contacted in the presence of a first and a second catalyst composition under conversion conditions effective to produce said lighter aromatic products comprising benzene, toluene and xylene. In the process, the C8+ aromatic hydrocarbons are dealkylated to form C6-C7 aromatic hydrocarbon and the C2+ olefins formed are saturated. The remaining C8+ aromatic hydrocarbons are transalkylated with the C6-C7 aromatic hydrocarbon. The first and second catalyst compositions each comprise a zeolite, a first metal, and optionally a second metal, and are treated with a source of sulfur and/or a source of steam.
