A gas hydrate inhibitor formulation used to prevent or inhibit the formation of gas hydrates in multi-phase fluids, such as hydrocarbon production fluids, includes at least one gas hydrate inhibitor and at least one organic carbonate solvent, which may be an organic carbonate, a derivative of the organic carbonate, or a combination thereof. The at least one organic carbonate solvent may be ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, glycerol carbonate, an aromatic carbonate, a dialkyl carbonate, an alkyl carbonate, or a combination of the same. The at least one gas hydrate inhibitor may be polyesteramides, polyvinylpyrrolidones, a vinylcaprolactam/vinyl pyrrolidone copolymer, polyvinyl caprolactam or a combination thereof.

Application of carbonates and their derivatives in formulations for gas hydrate inhibitors

An N-vinyl amide polymer is disclosed. The N-vinyl amide polymer is a reaction product of: a monomer component comprising an N-vinyl amide; and a chain transfer agent of the formula:

Hydrate inhibitors

A single-phase microemulsion additive may be introduced to a stream containing mixtures of or emulsions of oil and water in an effective amount to separate oil from the water in the stream and/or separating water from the oil in the stream. The single-phase microemulsion additive is formed by combining at least one demulsifier, at least one water clarifier, at least one surfactant, and optionally at least one solvent.

Single-phase microemulsion additive for separation of oil and water

A method of preventing or mitigating corrosion on a metallic surface exposed to a supercritical fluid is disclosed. The method includes adding a corrosion inhibitor composition to a supercritical fluid comprising a supercritical carbon dioxide; and contacting the supercritical fluid with a metallic surface, wherein the corrosion inhibitor composition comprises a corrosion inhibitor that has a solubility of greater than 5,000 ppm in the supercritical fluid at 48.9&#xb0; C. and 2,200 psi.
