  • Patent number: 11407930
    Abstract: A well treatment composition designed for the simultaneous enhancement of the production of both liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons from the same reservoir on a non-selective basis. The well treatment composition includes a first surfactant and a second surfactant, wherein the second surfactant is selected from the group consisting of ethylenediaminealkoxylate, diethylenetriaminealkoxylate, ethoxylated alkylene amines, ethoxylated alkyl amines, propoxylated alkylene amines, propoxylated alkyl amines, ethoxylated-propoxylated alkylene amines and ethoxylated-propoxylated alkyl amines. The well treatment composition also includes a first solvent, a second solvent and water. Methods for using the well treatment composition include the steps of emplacing the well treatment composition into wells having high and low gas-to-oil ratios.

  • Patent number: 7504438
    Abstract: The invention comprises a polymeric demulsifier, methods of producing the demulsifier and methods of using the demulsifier. The demulsifier is the reaction product of at least one amine-containing group, and optionally a second amine-containing group which includes a tertiary amine group, with a diepoxy- or diglycidyl compound and an additional amine compound subsequently reacted with unreacted epoxy groups. This polymeric composition is subsequently reacted with N-alkylating agent containing compounds to produce novel demulsifiers useful to demulsify oil bearing formations.

  • Patent number: 6225357
    Abstract: Polymer compositions made by reacting a polyol with an aromatic hydrocarbon containing only a single reactive functionality have been discovered to be useful demulsifiers for crude oil compositions. The aromatic hydrocarbon should have at least one aryl group and only one functionality reactive with a hydroxyl. The polyol may optionally be crosslinked prior to reaction with the aromatic hydrocarbon, and the crosslinking agent may be a diepoxide.
