A process includes growing NRB in a nitrate reducing bacteria media to form a NRB culture and combining the NRB culture with a concentrated nitrate solution to form a NRB composition.

Composition and method for controlling bacteria in formations

Composition for the removal or inactivation of hydrogen sulfide or soluble sulfide ion other species comprising ionizable sulfur (e.g., mercaptans, thiols, etc.) using compositions containing acrylate and/or derivatives thereof are provided. Methods for the removal or inactivation of hydrogen sulfide or other sulfur species in oilfield sites and other related applications using compositions containing acrylate and/or derivatives thereof are provided.

Acrylate-based sulfur scavenging agents for use in oilfield operations

A process includes injecting a molybdate or molybdate salt into a hydrocarbon-bearing formation, wherein no biocide is injected into the formation.

Method for controlling bacteria in formations using molybdate

A slick water fracturing fluid including a brine, an inorganic nitrate, a nitrogen reducing bacteria, a scale inhibitor selected from the group consisting of a polyacrylate polymer, a polyacrylate copolymer, a polyacrylate terpolymer, and mixtures thereof, and a friction reducer, wherein the friction reducer is a polyacrylamide.

Method for the use of nitrates and nitrate reducing bacteria in hydraulic fracturing

Composition for the removal or inactivation of hydrogen sulfide or other species comprising ionizable sulfur (e.g., mercaptans, thiols, etc.) using compositions containing acrylonitrile and/or derivatives thereof are provided. Methods for the removal or inactivation of hydrogen sulfide or other sulfur species in oilfield sites and other related applications using compositions containing acrylonitrile and/or derivatives thereof are provided.

Acrylonitrile-based sulfur scavenging agents and methods of use in oilfield operations

A method of controlling sulfides in water systems is disclosed which includes injecting 9,10 anthraquinone into the water system and injecting a nitrate or nitrite into the water system.

Method for control of deleterious microbes in oil and gas and other industrial fluids

An apparatus and method for remotely monitoring the temperature of acrolein in a storage tank has a temperature sensor in communication with the acrolein in the tank and with a temperature transmitter. A global positioning receiver/transmitter communicates with the temperature transmitter and sends the temperature data to a remote base station via a linking satellite while also providing location data about the storage tank. At the base station, the temperature data related to the actual temperature of the acrolein in the tank is compared to predetermined temperature set points. These predetermined set points correlate to polymerization reaction of the acrolein. When the set points are reached, a response processor initiates a response to control the polymerization reaction of the acrolein in the storage tank.

Method and apparatus for remotely monitoring acrolein temperature in storage tanks

A method for scavenging hydrogen sulfide from geothermal steam in a condenser under vacuum. A fine curtain of atomized acrolein-water droplets may be sprayed into geothermal steam condensers in an amount of approximately 2:1 molar ratio of acrolein to HS based on hydrogen sulfide in the incoming steam from the turbine. The range being approximately 0.1 ppm to 500 ppm of sulfide. The acrolein is allowed to react with the gas phase HS to form non-volatile aldehyde byproducts which partition into the water phase, are returned to the cooling tower and ultimately removed by normal cooling-tower blow down.
