Methods of using are also disclosed.

Synergistic effects of nanoparticles and surfactants for gas lift flow improvement

Amine functionalized nanoparticles having improved thermal and brine stability comprising a core-shell nanoparticle morphology comprising a trialkoxyorganosilane coated nanoparticle core and an amine functionalized group on the surface of the nanoparticle as a shell are disclosed. Methods and applications of use of the amine functionalized nanoparticles and compositions comprising the amine functionalized nanoparticles dispersed in an aqueous medium are also disclosed.

Compositions and methods for improving thermal and brine stability of nanoparticles

A polymer composition has been developed that comprising an oil-in-water emulsion comprising an aqueous phase comprising water and an emulsifying surfactant having a cloud point of less than 80° C. and a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) of greater than or equal to 8, and an oil phase comprising a high molecular weight oil-soluble polymer, wherein the oil-soluble polymer comprises a copolymer derived from reaction of a hydrophobic monomer and an ionizable monomer in a weight ratio from about 999:1 to about 80:20. Methods of using the compositions for drag reduction and corrosion inhibition are also disclosed.
