  • Reversible aminal gel compositions, methods, and use
    Patent number: 10683445
    Abstract: A well treatment composition for use in a hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir, optionally as a kill pill, and comprising a reversible aminal gel composition. The reversible aminal gel composition includes a liquid precursor composition. The liquid precursor composition is operable to remain in a liquid state at about room temperature. The liquid precursor composition comprises an organic amine composition; an aldehyde composition; a polar aprotic organic solvent; and a metal salt composition. The liquid precursor composition transitions from the liquid state to a gel state responsive to an increase in temperature in the hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 31, 2019
    Date of Patent: June 16, 2020
    Assignee: SAUDI ARABIAN OIL COMPANY
    Inventors: Peter J. Boul, B. Raghava Reddy, Matt Hilfiger, Carl Thaemlitz

  • Reversible aminal gel compositions, methods, and use
    Patent number: 10604691
    Abstract: A well treatment composition for use in a hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir comprising a reversible aminal gel composition. The reversible aminal gel composition includes a liquid precursor composition. The liquid precursor composition is operable to remain in a liquid state at about room temperature. The liquid precursor composition comprises an organic amine composition; an aldehyde composition; a polar aprotic organic solvent; and a metal salt composition with valence 3, 4, or 5. The liquid precursor composition transitions from the liquid state to a gel state responsive to an increase in temperature in the hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir.
