Definitions
- This invention relates to hydrocarbons and particularly, although not exclusively, relates to removal of hydrocarbon-based adherents from a solid substrate.
- Cleaning agents prepare and clean surfaces by interacting with adherents, altering their properties, and minimizing the tendency of the adherent to adhere to the surface.
- the chemistry of cleaning agents and surface treatments is highly advanced.
- Liquid cleaning formulations include degreasers, strippers, passivators, etchants, solutions and additives for cleaning and surface preparation. They are used to remove adherents (grease or oil) from surfaces such as industrial equipment or mechanical components.
- Formulations for cleaning are often, but not exclusively, water based. They may include the following:
- Strong alkalis These are extremely caustic solutions used to dissolve greases and certain minerals. Strong alkalis are known to boost the performance of other additives (e.g. chelants and builders described below) as well as to improve the dissolution rates for some minerals and scale deposits. Examples include sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide.
- Medium strength alkalis These are moderately caustic solutions used to remove fats, oils, and some paints and lacquers.
- Sodium carbonate is an example.
- Mild alkalis These are slightly basic solutions used for water softening and light cleaning. Sodium bicarbonate and water soluble silicates are examples.
- Strong acids These are highly corrosive materials used to dissolve hard mineral deposits. Examples include sulphuric, hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids. Mild acids: These are slightly corrosive materials used to soften water and control mineral deposition. Examples include acetic, citric and gluconic acid.
- Solvents This category includes a variety of substances used to dissolve grease and oil without the hazards of corrosivity. Solvents for cleaning consist of compounds such as alcohols, chlorinated hydrocarbons, or terpenes. Solvents may replace the water in a formulation or be additives in water based formulations (mutual solvents). Examples include acetone, isopropyl alcohol, d-limonene and 2-butoxyethanol. Solvents may be flammable, toxic and difficult to handle in practice.
- Surfactants These fall into the general category of detergents that are widely used as household cleaners. There is a multitude of examples including soaps (natural surfactants) and synthetic detergents.
- Some surfactants are used to emulsify fats, oils, and greases and are effective at lifting organic adherents from surfaces.
- Other surfactants demulsifiers
- surfactants are designed to release solid materials from the body of slurries, composed of highly viscous emulsions, within which the solid materials may be entrained.
- surfactants can be highly effective.
- many surfactants are associated with environmental disadvantages.
- surfactants when used to clean oil from surfaces, surfactants can bind the oil so strongly into emulsions that the oil cannot be recovered and converted into gasoline or even disposed of safely and in a cost effective manner.
- Dispersants This category of additives shows behaviour that is closely related to that of surfactants. Their activity may be milder than that of surfactants or detergents. They are designed to prevent adherents, once cleaned from surfaces, from re-agglomerating rapidly. This slow agglomeration provides benefits such as stability or enhanced biodegradation due to increases in the surface area of contaminant droplets. Examples include polyelectrolytes, polysaccharide gums or lignosulphonates.
- Chelants, Sequestrants and Builders are organic substances, which are soluble or miscible with water, that are added to formulations to minimize harmful characteristics of hardness ions such as cationic forms of calcium, magnesium, iron and manganese. Such ions interfere with the cleaning ability of primary active components (detergents and surfactants), effectively consuming them and making them unavailable to act on the surfaces to be cleaned. Chelants, sequestrants and builders 'bind up' the harmful ions converting them into harmless configurations where they cannot consume the primary active components.
- substances in this category include polydentate ligands such as ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid, polyphosphonates, gluconates, polyols, glucoheptonates, thioglycollic acid, water soluble silicates and certain carbonates.
- polydentate ligands such as ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid, polyphosphonates, gluconates, polyols, glucoheptonates, thioglycollic acid, water soluble silicates and certain carbonates.
- Preservatives These are incorporated in formulations to protect soaps and detergents against the natural effects of aging such as decay, discoloration, oxidation and bacterial degradation. Examples of preservatives include butylated hydroxytoluene, methyl or propyl paraben and water soluble compounds of tin.
- This cleaning process leads to approximately 75% of the bitumen being extracted from the oil sand.
- the extracted bitumen froth at this stage, is still contaminated with water and residual sand and its composition is approximately 60% petroleum, 20% solids and 30% water.
- the caustic materials, used in the process have high alkalinity and may chemically modify the solids, contributing to the formation of fine clay particles or militating against the further removal of such solid material.

- the mass is preferably naturally occurring in the ground. It preferably includes particulates in combination with oil both of which suitably occur together naturally as a mass in the ground.
- the particulates preferably occur naturally as particulates in the ground.
- the particulates are indigenous in the ground. They are suitably different to any particulates used or formed during an intervention (e.g. drilling) by an operator.
- the mass is preferably derived from (e.g.
- a region of ground which is at least 5m, 10m, 15m or 50m from an imaginary vertical line (or a real vertical line where the mass is removed from the ground via a wellbore) which defines a position wherein the mass is removed from the ground.
- Said mass suitably includes at least 3wt%, preferably at least 5wt%, more preferably at least 8wt% of crude oil. It may include less than 40wt% of crude oil. It may include at least 3wt% of water. Said mass preferably includes at least 5wt% of naturally-occurring particulate material, for example indigenous particulates as described.

- the light oil may be selected from vegetable oil, diesel oil, kerosene, canola oil and olive oil.
- the aforementioned components of the treatment formulation are suitably blended so that the oil is dispersed in the aqueous phase, wherein the aqueous phase suitably contains said polymeric material.
- the formulation may be used to remove heavy oil (e.g. oil having an API lower than that of said light oil). Said heavy oil may have an API of less than 30°, suitably less than 25° or less than 20°.
- the light oil in the formulation is believed to act as a cleaning agent in use. It is believed the formulation works because the dispersed light oil droplets have a high surface area, through which the heavy oil adherent is consumed, perhaps by simple dilution. In some situations, it may be desirable to stabilise the formulations, using surfactants or fine solids; however, if aggressive shearing is used in preparation of the formulations, the formulations may, in any event, be relatively stable.
- the formulation described may be used to remove heavy oil as described from a solid substrate.
- sludge for example a sand-based "pit sludge" (e.g. containing 1 0 to 20 wt% of water, 35 to 55 wt% hydrocarbons and 25 to 55 wt% solids) may be treated with the formulation, for example mixed with it. After treatment, the solids are found to be relatively clean. There may also be an associated water phase and a separate oil phase which includes oil from the sludge dissolved in the light oil.
- a method of recovering oil from a subterranean formation which comprises:
- the process was first repeated using progressively decreasing proportions of the polymer in the treatment fluid, and again using oil II.
- Example 3 Dispersion formation with multiple oils
- Table 1 shows measured values of apparent viscosity at selected wall shear rates (flow curve), along with the corresponding shear rate independent viscosities for the three oils.
- Table 1 indicates that the apparent viscosities of the dispersions reduce to a single flow curve i.e. the dispersion characteristics are standardised regardless of the original oil viscosity.
- Table 2 shows the rheological properties of dispersions made with different brines. Table 2: Apparent Viscosities at Selected Wall Shear Rates (Flow Curves) in Different
- Oil X having shear rate independent viscosity at 20°C of 10,000cP c Oil XI having shear rate independent viscosity at 20°C of 725cP d Tap water
- Figure 3 shows plots of water retained in the oil vs time for both oil tested. In both cases, separation is rapid, with over 90% of the treatment fluid being released within 24 hours. By comparison, with many surfactants, a substantial proportion of the oil may have been entrained practically irreversibly in the dispersion.
- IFT as described herein may be measured as described in Example 6.
- the method is generally in accordance with Shi-Yow Lin, Li-Jen Chen, Jia-Wen Xyu and Wei-Jiunn Wangi, Langmuir 1996, 1 1, 4159-41 66 41 59. It was undertaken at 25 °C. However, since oils are too viscous to pass through the needle, the oil was diluted with toluene prior to being tested at an oil:toluene ratio of 75:25.
- a Kruss DSA1000 Surface Tensiometer was used to measure IFT between two liquids at ambient temperature with a J-Needle. In the method, a fluid drop, of a certain shape, is created hanging from an upturned needle while suspended in an optical cell containing another fluid and mathematical equations are used to calculate the Interfacial Tension between those two fluids. The procedure used was as follows:
- the treatment formulations described have an excellent balance of detergency, dispersion and emulsion breaking properties. Such a balance in properties may be highly beneficial in the processes described herein.
- Hydrocarbons may be sludges taken from storage tanks or produced by refinery processes.
- a solid substrate may be siliceous materials, sand, aluminosilicates, clays or cuttings from the oilwell drilling process. They may be metallic surfaces of pipes, storage tanks, rail cars or other receptacles. Alternatively, the solid substrate may exist as discrete particles having mean number average particle sizes in the range 5 microns to 500microns as determined by laser light scattering methods.
- a treatment formulation as described may be used in removing bitumen from oil sands.
- a pre-soak with a treatment formulation comprising polyvinylalcohol I, immediately prior to mechanical separation, may enable a greater quantity of oil to be recovered and a less restrictive disposal classification to be achieved.
- a treatment formulation as described may be used in sludge mobilisation.
- hydrocarbon containing materials may be stored in tanks and pits for some time.
- the hydrocarbon containing materials may be transported in metal tanks on rail cars or in oil tankers. The continued use of such vessels leads to the build up of sludge due to the settling of solids suspended in the oil.
- These sludges are difficult to handle and often need to be manually removed. This involves working in confined spaces; an activity which carries safety risks from accidents or the inhalation of toxic gases.
- a treatment formulation comprising polyvinylalcohol may be used to mobilise sludge and facilitate extraction with much less manual intervention.
