Definitions

  • Such sulfur-containing compounds particularly sulfides, and especially soluble sulfides (H 2 S, HS - , S 2- , or combinations thereof), frequently detected in petroleum and oil field brines as a consequence of the activities of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) pose serious problems due to their toxicity, odor, corrosive nature, and potential for well bore plugging.
  • Current treatment technologies for sulfide removal include physical/chemical methods such as stripping with steam or flue gas, air oxidation, and precipitation.
  • microbial treatment may be a more efficient and cost-effective alternative for reducing sulfide levels.
  • the present invention also provides with a petroleum, a petroleum fraction, or a natural gas, obtainable by or obtained by above-said method or, as a further or additional definition, comprising, as additives above-mentioned first and second components.
  • the second component can be selected from a plant material or -ingredient of a plant of the family Elaeocarpaceae.
  • the plant may be a plant of the species Elaeocarpus hygrophilus.
  • the method comprises: adding a hydrocyrabon, which may be substituted, particularly an alcohol or a liquid aromatic hydrocarbon, to the petroleum, or the petroleum fraction, that was treated by adding the first component and the second component (which is called a product of the method).
  • a hydrocyrabon which may be substituted, particularly an alcohol or a liquid aromatic hydrocarbon
  • the method of treatment comprises: washing the petroleum, or the petroleum fraction, after it was treated by adding the first component and the second component, with an aqueous liquid phase.
  • Such washing is intended for, and has the effect of, removing or at least decreasing sulfur and sulfur compounds from/in the treated petroleum (fraction).
  • H2S in the petroleum may be converted to sulfur or other sulfur compound which may precipitate or remain in some extend in the treated petroleum (fraction).
  • sulfur or other sulfur compound can be removed by washing from the petroleum (fraction).
  • the aqueous phase can consist of water, or comprise water, or be based on water (>50 vol% water in the aqueous liquid phase). Washing can be done at room temperature, particularly 20-25°C, or at increased temperature, for example at 30-60°C.
  • the aqueous liquid phase may comprise binding agents to bind sulfur or sulfur compounds, if desired. Suitable binding agents are hydroxides, such as NaOH.
  • the first and second component are exposed to light during mixing and/or after mixing.
  • the light is preferably visible light, which may be composed from one or more wave-lengths.
  • the light may be light from a white light source or daylight. In one embodiment, the light is daylight. Exposure to light may also be done when mixing further components and/or after mixing of further components.
  • mixing of the first and second component is done by performing the following steps
  • Step i) may further comprise adding one or more alcohols, if mentioned first liquid compound is not an alcohol.
  • Illumincance in step a), a') or a") may be more than 10 Lux, or at least 100 Lux, preferably at least 500 Lux, more preferably at least 1000 Lux, even more preferably at least 5000 Lux.
  • An upper limit that can be combined with any of the lower limits, in any combination, may be 100000 Lux, or 200000 Lux, or 450000 Lux.
  • first and second only indicate other periods of time, but do not say anything about their length.
  • the methods of the invention for producing the addition agent comprises mixing, or adding, one or more alcohols as a further component.
  • the alcohol is in one more specific embodiment an aliphatic alcohol, preferably a C1 - C10 alcohol, such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol or pentanol, wherein all isomers thereof are encompassed.
  • the mixture of the first component and the second component, or of the first liquid composition and the second liquid composition, or generally the product of any of the methods is allowed to stand for at least 1 hour, preferably, at least 2 hours, or at least 4 hours, or at least 6 hours, or at least 8 hours, or 8 to 16 hours, or 10 to 12 hours, after mixing the components or liquid compositions comprising the components.
  • Licorice is mixed with an alcohol, such as ethanol, or an aromatic, preferably toluene or xylene, for example in a ratio of 25/75 (vol/vol) or specifically by following procedure.
  • an alcohol such as ethanol
  • an aromatic preferably toluene or xylene
  • PV240 mixes an ingredient of a plant of the species Elaeocarpus hygrophilus (such as extracted oil from fruits) (CF210) with kerosene (SF210), PV250 mixes biocide and amine (products as in example 2 supra) (CF220) with water (SF220) and PV290 mixes the addition agent produced in example 1, supra (CF230)-with kerosene (SF230). PV290 then feeds the fermentor PV260.
  • the actual treatment is done as follows:
  • Example 4 Treatment of sour natural gas in a subterranean natural gas reservoir
  • fermentor solution mixer PV410 mixes the product produced in example 1, supra (CF410)-with methanol (SF410).
  • the mix is fed into the pipeline between feedstock FS and separator PV420 with the liquids (black water and condensate) extracted via drain DR. So, the natural gas from the feedstock FS is treated during flowing through the pipeline.
  • the mix from PV410 is also fed into the separator PV420 itself to treat natural gas in the separator. Solutions of biocide and amine treatment can be applied in addition to the above-described procedure.
  • the embodiments in Fig. 3 and 4 reduce sulfur (sweeten sour gas), increase the heat rate, decreases the specific gravity and lowers the H 2 S concentration to harmless levels ( ⁇ 10 ppm).
  • the obtained crude oil-like product was siphoned off.
  • Hot water >80°C
  • the process was accelerated by stirring or tumbling.
