Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a corrosion inhibitor for use in the oil and gas exploration, recovery and processing industries. In particular, the invention relates to a quaternary ammonium compound suitable for use as such a corrosion inhibitor, to the manufacture of the quaternary ammonium compound, to compositions containing it, and to methods of using it. Quaternary ammonium compounds of the invention have the formula (I) in which R is C 1-6 alkyl, C 2-6 alkenyl, aryl, aralkyl; X, Y, and Z are each independently hydrogen, or R1CO—, provided that at least one of X, Y and Z is R1CO, where R1 is C 5-23 alkyl or alkenyl containing 0, 1, 2 or 3 double bonds; D is C 2-6 alkylene; E is C 2-4 alkylene; p, q and r are each, independently, integers from 0 to 20, with the proviso that p+q+r is from 3 to 20; and A − is an anion.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A corrosion inhibitor composition comprising a water miscible organic solvent and a quaternary ammonium compound of formula (I): wherein: R is an alkyl group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms, an alkenyl group containing 2 to 6 carbon atoms, an aryl, or aralkyl group; one of X, Y and Z is a group of formula R1CO and the other two ar…
