A method for managing metal naphthenates in produced hydrocarbons includes injecting acid and/or sour gas into produced hydrocarbons in a production well, flowline or riser, to thereby control the pH of fluids contained in the produced hydrocarbons.

Treatment of produced hydrocarbons

The invention relates to an orally administrable chewable composition in unit dosage form comprising an oil-in-water emulsion in which the aqueous phase is gelled and in which the oil phase comprises a physiologically tolerable unsaturated fatty acid ester.

Emulsion

The invention provides an oral pharmaceutical composition, optionally in dose unit form, comprising a lipophilic drug substance in dispersion in a physiologically tolerable aqueous carrier, preferably an aqueous gel, wherein said drug substance contains a functional electrostatic group having a pKa value of from 2 to 10, characterised in that said aqueous carrier has a pH at least 0.3 below or above said pKa value, said pH being below said pKa where said group is acidic and above said pKa where said group is basic.

Oral pharmaceutical dispersion compositions

An oral pharmaceutical composition in unit dose form, each unit dose comprising a lipophilic drug substance within a unitary carrier body, said body comprising a soft, chewable, gelled oil-in-water emulsion.

Chewable gelled emulsions

Metal naphthenate is removed from a crude hydrocarbon mixture by a process. The process includes mixing the crude hydrocarbon mixture comprising metal naphthenate with an acid in the presence of water, wherein the acid converts the metal naphthenate to naphthenic acid and metal salt; allowing the metal salt to partition into a water phase; and separating the crude heavy hydrocarbon mixture comprising naphthenic acid and the water phase comprising the metal salt.
