Abstract

A method of reducing the viscosity of oil-based drilling fluids and well service fluids at low temperatures and a thinner compound for use in such drilling fluids and well service fluids is disclosed. The method comprises adding to said drilling fluids or well service fluids a thinner having the formula: R-(C2H4O)n(C3H6O)m(C4H8O)k-H where R is a saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched alkyl radical having about 8 to about 24 carbon atoms, n is a number ranging from about 1 to about 10, m is a number ranging from about 0 to about 10, and k is a number ranging from about 0 to about 10.

Claims (21)

1. A method of influencing the theology of a drilling fluid or well service fluid comprising an invert emulsion, said method comprising adding to said drilling fluid or well service fluid a compound having the formula:
R-(C2H4O)n(C3H6O)m(C4H8O)k-H
where R is a saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched alkyl radical having about 8 to about 24 carbon atoms, n is a number ranging from about 1 to about 10, m is a number ranging from about 0 to about 10, and k is a number ranging from about 0 to about 10.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein in said formula, k is zero and m is a number ranging from about 1 to about 10, or m is zero and k is a number ranging from about 1 to about 10.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein in said formula, n is a number ranging from about 1 to about 6, m is a number ranging from about 1 to about 6, and k is zero.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein said invert emulsion comprises a continuous oil phase comprising compounds or compositions flowable and pumpable at temperatures at least as low as about 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
5. The method of claim 1 wherein said invert emulsion comprises a continuous oil phase comprising compounds or compositions flowable and pumpable at temperatures above about 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
6. The method of claim 5 wherein said oil phase comprises compounds or compositions selected from the group comprising:

(f) carboxylic esters of the formula:
R'-COO-R"
where R' is a saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched, alkyl radical having about 1 to about 23 carbon atoms and R" is an alkyl radical, branched or unbranched, saturated or unsaturated, having about 1 to about 23 carbon atoms;
(g) linear or branched olefins having about 8 to about 30 carbon atoms;
(h) water-insoluble symmetric or asymmetric ethers of monohydric alcohols of natural or synthetic origin, said alcohols containing about 1 to about 24 carbon atoms;
(i) water-insoluble alcohols of the formula:
R"'-0 H
where R"' is a saturated, unsaturated, linear or branched alkyl radical having about 8 to about 24 carbon atoms; and (j) carbonic diesters.
7. The method of claim 1 wherein said compound is added to said drilling fluid or well service fluid in an amount sufficient to effect a reduction in the viscosity of said drilling fluid or well service fluid.
8. The method of claim 1 wherein said compound is added to said drilling fluid or well service fluid in an amount sufficient to maintain the flowability and pumpability of said drilling fluid or well service fluid at temperatures less than about 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
9. The method of claim 1 wherein said compound is added to said drilling fluid or well service fluid in quantities ranging from about 0.5 pounds to about 15.0 pounds of said compound per barrel of said drilling fluid or well service fluid.
10. The method of claim 1 wherein said compound reduces the viscosity of said drilling fluid or well service fluid at low temperatures.
11. The method of claim 10 wherein said compound does not significantly affect the viscosity of said fluid at high temperatures.
12. The method of claim 1 wherein said compound is added to said fluid when said fluid is prepared.
13. The method of claim 1 wherein said compound is added to said fluid while said fluid is circulating in a wellbore.
14. A drilling fluid or well service fluid comprising a continuous oil phase, water dispersed in said oil phase, solids insoluble in said oil phase, and a compound having the formula:
R-(C2H4O)n(C3H6O)m(C4H7O)k-H
where R is a saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched alkyl radical having about 8 to about 24 carbon atoms, n is a number ranging from about 1 to about 10, m is a number ranging from about 0 to about 10, and k is a number ranging from about 0 to about 10.
15. The drilling fluid or well service fluid of claim 14 wherein said compound is added in sufficient amounts to reduce the viscosity of said fluid at low temperatures.
16. The drilling fluid or well service fluid of claim 14 having a density of from about 8 to about 18 lbs/gal.
17. The drilling fluid or well service fluid of claim 14 having a yield point of not more than about 75 lbs/100 ft2 at about 40°F.
18. A method of reducing the viscosity of an invert emulsion drilling fluid or well service fluid at low temperatures comprising adding to said fluid an effective amount of compound having the formula:
R-(C2H4O)n(C3H6O)m(C4H8O)k-H
where R is a saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched alkyl radical having about 8 to about 24 carbon atoms, n is a number ranging from about 1 to about 10, m is a number ranging from about 0 to about 10, and k is a number ranging from about 0 to about 10.
19. The method of claim 18 wherein said compound does not significantly affect the viscosity of the drilling fluid at high temperatures.
20. The method of claim 18 further comprising circulating said fluid in a wellbore and adding said compound to said fluid during said circulation.
21. The method of claim 18 further comprising preparing said fluid and adding said compound to said fluid during said preparation.
