Abstract: The present invention relates to supramolecular surfactants (SS) with detergent-dispersant of heavy organic compounds (deposits and/or organic scales) and corrosion inhibition properties, and methods for preparing these surfactants. The invention also relates to the corresponding uses and applications of these surfactants to prevent and control the formation of deposits in internal combustion machines, as well as to prevent and protect pipelines, tanks, motors and complements of ferrous materials against corrosion where there is contact with liquid hydrocarbons such as gasoline, turbosine, and diesel, where gasoline may contain oxygenated compounds such as ethers and/or alcohols. The supramolecular surfactants are obtained from the self-assembly process between oxazolidines derived from polyalkyl/polyalkenyl N-hydroxyalkyl succinimides with alkyl/alkenyl-amine-propanoic acids and alkyl/alkenyl-amine-di-propanoic acids.

Abstract: The present disclosure is related to obtaining and using sulfobetaine and hydroxysultaine-based geminal zwitterionic liquids as wettability modifiers for rocks such as limestone, dolomite, sandstone, quartz or heterogeneous lithologies, under the presence of brines having high content of divalent ions as calcium, magnesium, barium and strontium, at high temperature and high pressure conditions for enhanced oil recovery processes to increase the oil production. The geminal zwitterionic liquids of the present disclosure have also the property of acting as corrosion inhibitors of ferrous metals used in pipelines and equipment for crude oil extraction, production, transport and storage operations. A further advantage shown by zwitterionic liquids derived from their molecular structure is they can be dissolved in distilled water, brine, hydrocarbon solvents, aromatics and alcohols.

Abstract: The present invention is related with the obtaining process and use of branched germinal zwitterionic liquids based on either bis-N,N-dialkyl-N-polyether-betaine or bis-N,N-dialkenyl-N-polyether-betaine or bis-N,N-dicycloalkyl-N-polyether-betaine or bis-N,N-diaryl-N-polyether-betaine, to be applied as modifiers of the wettability of rocks such as limestone, dolomite, sandstone, quartz or heteregenous lithologies, under the presence of brines having high content of divalent ions such as calcium, magnesium, barium or strontium, under high temperature and high pressure within enhanced oil recovery processes in order to increase the oil production. The branched germinal zwitterionic liquids of the present invention have moreover the property to act as viscosity reducers of heavy oils having high content of polar fractions, both for extraction and production, and transport and storage operations, so allowing increase the production level of this oil type.

Abstract: The present invention refers to the formulation of a foaming agent for extreme conditions of salinity, temperature and concentration of divalent ions, including the improvement in the performance in these conditions with respect to the patent MX2008015989 A. Also, the design is presented of the experimental equipment used to characterize and evaluate foaming agents at laboratory level and conditions of pressure, temperature and salinity, in oil fields. The formulation of the foaming agent derived from this invention is a mixture of sodium alpha olefin sulfonates, alkylamido propyl betaines and triethanolamine, capable of giving it the benefit of being stable in temperature and salinity in a wide range, diluted in synthetic and congenital brines. This formulation is applicable for the control of gas mobility and improved oil recovery processes in naturally fractured reservoirs.

Abstract: A foaming composition with wettability-modifying and corrosion inhibitory properties is used to control the channeling of fluids in naturally fractured carbonate reservoirs, favorably alter the rock wettability in crude oil enhanced recovery processes and control uniform corrosion problems occurring in production rigs under high temperature and ultra-high salinity conditions by the synergistic effect resulting from the supramolecular interaction of alkyl amido propyl hydroxysultaines or alkyl hydroxysultaines with sodium alkyl hydroxysulfonates and sodium alkenyl sulfonates having the formula (1). The foaming compositions with wettability-modifying and corrosion inhibitory properties are tolerant to high concentrations of divalent ions such as calcium, magnesium, strontium and barium and are suitable for use in the reservoir, seawater and/or congenital water characteristic of the reservoir for transporting the crude oil from the reservoir.
