Abstract: Methods for preparing and using invert emulsions and treatment fluids including the invert emulsions are provided herein. In one or more embodiments, the methods of the present disclosure comprise providing an aqueous fluid comprising water and one or more water-soluble monomers; providing an oil-based fluid comprising a solvent and one or more polymerization surfactants, wherein the solvent comprises a linear or branched dibasic ester; combining the aqueous fluid and the oil-based fluid to form an invert emulsion that comprises an aqueous phase comprising the aqueous fluid and an oil phase comprising the oil-based fluid; and polymerizing at least a portion of the one or more water-soluble monomers in the invert emulsion.

Abstract: Treatment fluids and associated methods and systems for demulsifying an emulsified well fluid. An example method includes contacting the emulsified well fluid with a treatment fluid comprising: an aqueous base fluid; an alcohol; a resin alkoxylated oligomer; a polyol; and a polyamine polyether. The emulsified well fluid is separated into an aqueous phase and an oleaginous phase after contact with the treatment fluid.

Abstract: A navigation system with a portable heads up display (HUD). The HUD comprises a housing rotably mounted on a stand. The housing holds a device for generating an image that can be projected onto a vehicle windshield, for example a vacuum fluorescent display (VFD) module. Preferably, the navigation system is a NavMate® Navigation System from Visteon Technologies LLC, and the HUD is operatively connected to the navigation system by a high speed serial interface, for example an RS232 interface. An exemplary HUD includes a microcontroller, frame buffer, and a graphic display module. A preferred image generator is a Futaba GP1045A02A graphic display module.
