A composition for efficient metal chelation includes (i) a primary chelant; (ii) a coordination enhancing additive; and (iii) a solvent. A wellbore servicing fluid includes (i) a primary chelant; (ii) a coordination enhancing additive; and (iii) a solvent.

Compositions and methods for iron chelation

A method of reducing injection pressure during a hydrocarbon resource recovery operation, the method comprising: introducing a treatment fluid comprising a biochelant and a solvent for a time period sufficient to reduce an injection pressure of the injection well by equal to or greater than about 25%. A method of asphaltene and paraffin dispersion, the method comprising introducing a treatment fluid into a well disposed within a subterranean formation, wherein the treatment fluid comprises a biochelant and solvent.

Compositions and methods for reducing injection pressure in resource recovery operations

A method for removal of sulfide from a stream, the method comprising preparing a metal-chelant complex, designated M-Yn, where M is a divalent or trivalent cation, Y comprises a gluconic acid, glucaric acid or derivative thereof, and n is from about 1 to about 3; contacting a mixture comprising M-Yn and a base with a sulfide stream under conditions suitable for the formation of a metal-sulfide species; and contacting the metal-sulfide species with an oxidizing agent to form a soluble metal sulfide species. A method for removal of sulfide from a stream, the method comprising preparing a sulfide scavenging mixture comprising a base and a metal-complex characterized by Structure (I); contacting the sulfide scavenging mixture with a sulfide stream under conditions suitable for the formation of a metal-sulfide species; and contacting the metal-sulfide species with an oxidizing agent to form a soluble metal sulfide species.

Sulfide scavenging using biodegradable complexes

A scale inhibitor includes an amount of hydroxyethylidene diphosphonic acid (HEDP), and an amount of hydroxyapatite. The amounts are combined to form a composition that is long lasting, high activity and completely dissolvable. The composition has a preferred particle size of less than 200 nm. Dicalcium phosphate, tricalcium phosphate, bone and/or bone ash may be used in place of hydroxyapatite.

Solid scale inhibitor

A solid scale inhibitor for use in fracking operations to inhibit scale build up, includes a powdered composition having a salt component and an acid component; the powdered composition is 100% dissolvable; and the acid component increases the dissolution rate associated with the salt component, thereby preventing the salt component from contributing to scaling formation in one or more production lines within a fracking operation. While both the salt and the acid in the present invention inhibit scale formation on their own, the acid (HEDP in the preferred embodiment) dissolves quickly, while the salt (HA in the preferred embodiment) dissolves very slowly; by combining the two, the dissolution rate of the acid is slowed and the dissolution rate of the salt is increased. Thus providing for an effective long term solid scale inhibitor.
