Production of lubricant range hydrocarbons from light olefins

Abstract: PRODUCTION OF LUBRICANT RANGE HYDROCARBONS FROMLIGHT OLEFINS ABSTRACT In a process for converting lower olefinic feed to heavier hydrocarbons by contacting the feed with a shape selective medium pore acidic zeolite catalyst at elevated temperature and pressure the catalyst surface is rendered relatively inactive by adding to the olefinic feed an inactivating amount of a sterically-hindered organic base, whereby the catalyst is selectively surface-deactivated, to produce substantially linear heavier hydrocarbons rich in C10+ olefins.

Multi-stage anionic dispersion homopolymerization to form micro-particles with narrow size distribution

Abstract: Styrene or other anionically polymerizable monomer is anionically homopolymerized in a dispersion using a non-solvent, for example, hexane, in three or more successive stages to obtain spherical microparticles, for example, from 2 to 5 microns, with a narrow size distribution.

Silicate-Based Drilling Fluids: Competent, Cost-effective and Benign Solutions to Wellbore Stability Problems

Abstract: New and improved water-based drilling fluids based on soluble silicates have been developed and applied in the field in a unique collaboration between BW Mud, Mobil NSL, BP Exploration and Shell Research. Silicate-based muds are introduced as superior fluids for drilling troublesome formations like intact and (micro-)fractured shales and chalks. In addition, these inorganic systems are environmentally friendly and inexpensive. Details are presented on the wellbore stabilisation mechanism of silicate-based muds and their drilling fluid engineering. In addition, field trial results are presented which demonstrate the excellent cuttings- and wellbore-stabilising capacity of these exciting new mud systems.

Conversion of synthesis gas to gasoline

Abstract: Contacting snythesis gas (mixed carbon monoxide and hydrogen) with a mixture of a carbon monoxide hydrogenation catalyst and an acid dehydration catalyst to produce a first stage product comprising dimethyl ether and contacting this first stage product, preferably in its entirety, with a crystalline aluminosilicate having a silica to alumina ratio of at least about 12 and a constraint index of about 1 to 12 to convert it to high octane gasoline.
