US Patent:

6525003, Feb 25, 2003
Filed:

Apr 8, 1998
Appl. No.:

09/057059
Inventors:

Robert P. Schlemmer - Kingwood TX 77339
Edward Keith Morton - Katy TX 77449
International Classification:

C09K 706
US Classification:

507103, 507116, 507134, 507143, 507269, 1662542
Abstract:

A well logging fluid is provided having a relatively non-conductive fluid and an effective amount of a salt sufficient to modify the electrical characteristics the relatively non-conductive fluid resulting in a modified fluid or well logging fluid such that an electrical well-logging tool when disposed in the modified fluid can perform an electrical well-logging survey of a borehole containing the modified fluid. The non-conductive fluid is selected from the group consisting of a non-aqueous fluid and an invert emulsion of an aqueous phase in a non-conductive liquid. In an invert emulsion, the aqueous portion thereof ranges up to about 70 percent by volume. The salt has a cation and an anion, wherein the cation is selected from the group consisting of divalent and trivalent metal cations capable of forming a complex, and the anion is one that disassociates from the cation in an aqueous medium. Preferably, the modified fluid or well logging fluid has an electrical stability of at most 350 volts, more preferably at most 250 volts, as measured according to API RB 13-2. The well logging may be used for electric well logging and imaging.

US Patent:

20140138159, May 22, 2014
Filed:

Aug 22, 2013
Appl. No.:

13/973754
Inventors:

- San Ramon CA, US
Saleh Ali Elomari - Fairfield CA, US
Edward Malachosky - Spring TX, US
Edward Keith Morton - Katy TX, US
Rithana Chea - Richmond TX, US
Assignee:

CHEVRON U.S.A INC. - San Ramon CA
International Classification:

C09K 8/035
E21B 21/00
US Classification:

175 65
Abstract:

The present invention is directed to the method drilling a borehole with monoester-based drilling fluid compositions. In some embodiments, the methods for making such monoester-based lubricants utilize a biomass precursor and/or low value Fischer-Tropsch (FT) olefins and/or alcohols so as to produce high value monoester-based drilling fluids. In some embodiments, such monoester-based drilling fluids are derived from FT olefins and fatty acids. The fatty acids can be from a bio-based source (i.e., biomass, renewable source) or can be derived from FT alcohols via oxidation.

International Classification:

C09K 8/18
US Classification:

507103, 560265
Abstract:

The present invention is directed to monoester-based drilling fluid compositions and the method of drilling a borehole with said compositions. In some embodiments, the methods for making such monoester-based lubricants utilize a biomass precursor and/or low value Fischer-Tropsch (FT) olefins and/or alcohols so as to produce high value monoester-based drilling fluids. In some embodiments, such monoester-based drilling fluids are derived from FT olefins and fatty acids. The fatty acids can be from a bio-based source (i.e., biomass, renewable source) or can be derived from FT alcohols via oxidation.
