Detailed Description of the Invention
A drilling fluid that comprises vinylidenes has physical properties that are superior to other drilling fluids. The
drilling fluid may also comprise internal olefins and/or alpha olefins. A process for an oil based drilling fluid comprising vinylidenes is also described.
The process comprising dimerizing even numbered alpha olefins to form vinylidenes. These vinylidenes are typically of the general structure 2-alkyl-l-alkene . Even numbered alpha olefins are defined as any alpha olefin having an even number of carbon atoms. The even numbered alpha olefins may include any even numbered alpha olefin with from 4 to 16 carbon atoms. The even numbered alpha olefins preferably comprise even numbered alpha olefins with from 6 to 10 carbon atoms. More preferred even numbered alpha olefins have 6 or 8 carbon atoms.
The dimerization may be carried out with a single even numbered alpha olefin or a blend of even numbered alpha olefins. When a single even numbered alpha olefin is used, it is preferably a C6, C8, CIO or C12 alpha olefin. When a blend of even numbered alpha olefins is used, any combination of even numbered alpha olefins may be used.
Physical properties of the final product are typically impacted by the starting materials selected, so the use of some even numbered alpha olefins will result in more
preferred final products. Some examples of possible blends of even numbered alpha olefins are C4 with C8; C4 with CIO; C4 with C12; C4 with CI 4; C6 with C8; C6 with CIO; C6 with C12; C6 with CI 4; C8 with CIO; and C8 with C12. Further it is possible to envision a blend of more than two even
numbered alpha olefins that could be used to produce suitable products .
The process will be described below in respect to using a single even numbered alpha olefin, C8, but this process applies equally to the other single even numbered alpha olefins and the blends of alpha olefins described above.
The process is to dimerize 1-octene to produce 2-hexyl- 1-decene. The 2-hexyl-l-decene is a vinylidene olefin that may also be referred to as 7-methylene pentadecane. There are a number of processes for carrying out this dimerization; for example, the processes described in US 4,658,078; US
4,973,788; and US 7,129,197, which are herein incorporated by reference. Dimerization using a metallocene catalyst results in a single vinylidene compound being formed. The product may be distilled, if desired, to remove unreacted monomer and any trimer or higher oligomers that may have formed or the product may be directly used in the next step.
The C16 and C20 vinylidene formed can be used as a base oil for a drilling fluid. Further, C16, C20, C22 and C24 vinylidenes can be blended with internal olefins, alpha olefins and/or paraffins for use in an oil based drilling fluid .
Suitable internal olefins include any internal olefin having a carbon number of from 10 to 18. For example, the internal olefins may be C15, C16, C17 or C18 internal olefins. These internal olefins may be used singly or in mixture of more than one internal olefins. For example, the interal olefins blended with the vinylidene may comprise a mixture of C15, C16, C17 and C18 internal olefins.
Suitable alpha olefins include any alpha olefin having a carbon number of from 10 to 18. For example, the alpha olefins may be C16, C17, or C18 alpha olefins. These alpha olefins may be used singly or in mixture of more than one alpha olefins. For example, the alpha olefins blended with the vinylidene may comprise a mixture of C16, C17 and C18 alpha olefins.
Suitable paraffins may be of mineral or synthetic origin. Synthetic paraffins may be formed by any process known to one
of skill in the art, for example, a Fischer-Tropsch process. Suitable paraffins have a carbon number of from 10 to 24.
The drilling fluid may contain at most 90% of a
vinylidene component. The drilling fluid may contain at most 80% of a vinylidene component. The drilling fluid may
contain from 20 to 85% of a vinylidene component. The
drilling fluid may contain of from 30 to 75% of a vinylidene component .
The amount of vinylidene component may depend on the desired physical properties of the drilling fluid which can be determined once the drilling conditions, such as
temperature, are known.
These drilling fluids have physical properties that are especially suited to use under drilling conditions as can be seen in Figures 1-4. These figures depict the pour point and kinematic viscosity of drilling fluids comprising vinylidenes.
The kinematic viscosity is shown to be lower for a C16 vinylidene than for a paraffin or an internal olefin mixture by itself in Figure 5.
Other physical properties of C16 and C20 vinylidenes are described in Table 1.
Table 1
These physical properties of the C16 and C20 vinylidene olefins show that they would be useful as drilling fluids.
Drilling operations are often carried out under severe
conditions, for example at temperatures at, near or even below freezing. In addition, the viscosity is a very
important property in a drilling fluid and these oils satisfy the requirements for flat rheology at a broad temperature range.
Further, these vinylidene components have been tested for sediment toxicity. The Sediment Toxicity Ratio is determined as the relative sediment toxicity with respect to a reference sample of C16-18 internal olefins. The results of these tests are shown in Table 2. Sample A was a C16 vinylidene; sample B was a C20 vinylidene; sample C was a 50/50 mixture of a C16 vinylidene and a C15-18 internal olefin mixture; and sample D was a mixture of a C16
vinylidene and a C16-18 alpha olefin mixture. The tests were carried out according to the 10 days LC-50 procedure, which is required and specified in the US EPA Region 6 Gulf of Mexico general permit (GMG 290000) .
The described samples were also tested for Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) by EPA method 1654A as defined in the Region 6 Gulf of Mexico general permit. All of the samples have a PAH content of less than the method reporting limit of 5 mg/kg. These results meet the stock limitation criteria of less than or equal to 10 mg/kg. Table 2
