  • Publication number: 20200056088
    Abstract: The application is directed to treating wells and subterranean formations in oil and gas well operations using surfactants. Solid treatment particles may be produced comprising one or more solid adsorbent materials and one or more surfactants adsorbed on the one or more solid adsorbent materials. The solid treatment particles are operationally configured to be introduced into wells and/or subterranean formations to carry out one or more treatments in various aspects of a life cycle of oil wells and gas wells.

  • Patent number: 9938453
    Abstract: Composition and methods using the compositions are disclosed, where the compositions include heterocyclic aromatic amines, substituted heterocyclic aromatic amines, poly vinyl heterocyclic aromatic amines, co-polymers of vinyl heterocyclic aromatic amine and non amine polymerizable monomers (ethylenically unsaturated mononers and diene monomers), or mixtures or combinations thereof reacted with sulfonic acids, alkyl sulfonic acids, sulfosuccinates, sulfamic acids, sulfuric acids or partially neutralized amine or other alkali sulfonate and/or reacted with alpha hydroxyl carboxcylic acids which form coatings that alter self-aggregating properties and/or aggregation propensities of the particles and surfaces. Furthermore, the coating can be used to improve filtration of fluids through particulate matter and it is found that the coating will increase hydrocarbon liquid and gas flow through or over treated particulates and surfaces.
