Abstract:
This invention relates to latex dispersions that are based on (co)polymers with one or more n-alkyl(meth)acrylate monomers with n a varying from 6 to 40, and optionally one or more monomers that are not very water-soluble of the (meth)acrylic and/or vinyl type, optionally one or more polar monomers that are selected from among the (meth)acrylamides and their derivatives and optionally one or more monomers that are selected from among the ethylenically unsaturated monocarboxylic and/or dicarboxylic acids or anhydrides.These dispersions are obtained by radical-type emulsion polymerization in the presence of water.They can be used as is for the inhibition of the deposition of paraffins that are contained in the crude petroleum hydrocarbons or else diluted in one or more solvents.

Abstract:
Polymeric nanoemulsions facilitate flow and reduce drag and friction in multiphase pipelines containing both oil and water (e.g., oil/water, oil/water/gas, oil/water/solids, and oil/water/gas/solids) such as are used for oil or gas production, gathering, and transmission; hydrotransport of oilsand or heavy oil slurries and the like. Specific examples of suitable drag reducing polymers include polyacrylamide. The emulsions have a hydrocarbon external phase, droplets of an aqueous internal phase having water-soluble polymer dissolved therein, where the droplets have an average particle size below about 200 nm, and at least one surfactant to form a stable nanoemulsion. The nanoemulsions advantageously have a low viscosity of about 200 cP or less.
