  • Patent number: 11111431
    Abstract: Disclosed is a composition and use thereof for the recovery of hydrocarbon fluids from a subterranean reservoir. More particularly, this invention concerns sulfonated epoxy resin polymers comprising an epoxide-containing compound, a primary amino sulfonate, and optionally one or more of a primary monoamine alkylene oxide oligomer, that modify the permeability of subterranean formations and increase the mobilization and/or recovery rate of hydrocarbon fluids present in the formations.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 23, 2017
    Date of Patent: September 7, 2021
    Assignee: Dow Global Technologies LLC
    Inventors: Stephen M. Hoyles, Sayeed Abbas, Robert E. Hefner, Jr., Shawn J. Maynard, Cesar E. Meza

  • Publication number: 20020038160
    Abstract: The properties of a resinous material product are controlled in a manufacturing system by online process parameter monitoring and control. The online monitoring and control incorporates an in-situ measurement system that can monitor product in the process by use of a side stream ultrasonic device. The side stream device advantageously provides online real-time measures of the product's acoustical properties (e.g. velocity, attenuation) under conditions that are independent of process-stream conditions. The side stream device controls the product temperature, pressure, and flow rate while inside the side stream device and the velocity and attenuation are measured under these predetermined temperature, pressure, and flow rate conditions. The acoustical properties (e.g.
