International Classification:

C07C 720
F17D 105

US Classification:

585 15

Abstract:

This invention is directed toward a method for inhibiting the formation (nucleation, growth and agglomeration) of clathrate hydrates. The method comprises adding into a mixture of hydrate forming substituents and water, an effective amount of a hydrate anti-agglomerate selected from the group consisting of anionic, cationic, non-ionic and zwitterionic hydrate anti-agglomerate. The hydrate anti-agglomerant has a polar head group and a nonpolar tail group said nonpolar tail group not exceeding 11 carbon atoms in the longest carbon chain.

International Classification:

F17D 105

US Classification:

585 15

Abstract:

A method for inhibiting the formation of gas hydrates in a petroleum fluid having hydrate-forming constituents is claimed. More specifically, the method can be used to treat a petroleum fluid, such as natural gas conveyed in a pipe, to inhibit the formation of a hydrate flow restriction in the pipe. The hydrate inhibitors used for practicing the method comprise substantially water soluble homopolymers and copolymers of surfactant monomers, wherein the surfactant monomer unit may be represented by the formula: ##STR1## where R. sub. 1 and R. sub. 2 independently are hydrogen or a methyl group, M is a metal cation, n is a number sufficient to produce a number average molecular weight between 1000 and 6,000,000, and o is a number from 1 to 5.

International Classification:

C09K 700

US Classification:

252 8513

Abstract:

Aqueous, clay-based drilling mud compositions are improved with respect to waterloss control by the addition of a hydrolyzed copolymer of acrylamide and an N-vinylamide. The copolymer, which is effective over a broad range of molecular weights, contains at least 5 mol percent of the N-vinylamide monomer moiety of which at least 5 mol percent is hydrolyzed to vinylamine units. Well drilling is improved by circulating through the bore hole a drilling mud containing this waterloss control additive.

International Classification:

C08F 804

US Classification:

525339

Abstract:

It has now been discovered that the hydrogenation of unsaturated homo and copolymers can be effectively carried out in the absence of added gaseous hydrogen by contacting the unsaturated polymer with a hydrogen donor compound in the presence of a Group VIII metal catalyst, especially a supported palladium catalyst, for a time and at a temperature sufficient to bring about the hydrogenation of the unsaturated polymer.
