Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100216670WATER-BASED FLUID FOR PREVENTING THE FORMATION OF W/O EMULSIONS OR FOR RESOLVING W/O EMULSIONS ALREADY FORMED IN POROUS MATRICES - The invention relates to a water-based fluid for applications in the oil field, comprising non-ionic surfactants, stable at temperatures ranging from 10 to 90° C., having an HLB ranging from 8 to 20 and soluble in water, with a saline content ranging from 0 to 60% by weight, and possibly salts. The fluid can be conveniently used as completion fluid for preventing the formation of inverse W/O emulsions or as a remedial fluid for resolving emulsions already formed in oil wells in which oil-based mud has been used.08-26-2010
