Stable imidazoline solutions

1. A concentrate for use in providing an additive solution suitable for a pipeline fluid, a refinery fluid, an oil and gas well drilling fluid, or a petroleum product consisting essentially of

a) a reaction product of an imidazoline, and a hydrocarbyl succinic acid or anhydride;

b) an alkoxylated alkylphenol component; and,

c) optionally, one or more of a dimer acid, a phosphate, and a polyether,

wherein the concentrate contains from about 2 to about 50 wt. % of the alkyphenol component and the concentrate remains stable and substantially clear down to about −45° C. in the presence of alcohol, water in an amount ranging from about 5 to about 40 percent by weight based on the total weight of the concentrate, friction reducers, and other components.

2. The concentrate of claim 1 , further consisting essentially of a dimer acid, a phosphate and a polyether.

3. The concentrate of claim 1 , wherein the imidazoline is derived from oleic acid and triethylene tetramine and wherein the hydrocarbyl succinic acid or anhydride comprises dodecyl succinic acid or anhydride.

4. The concentrate of claim 1 , wherein the alkylphenol component comprises an ethoxylated alkylphenol component.

5. The concentrate of claim 4 , wherein the alkyphenol component comprises from about 4 to about 15 ethoxy groups.

6. The concentrate of claim 5 , wherein the alkylphenol component comprises nonylphenol.

7. An additive solution comprising (a) the concentrate of claim 1 , (b) a mixture of alcohol and water, (c) friction reducers, and (d) other components.

8. A pipeline fluid comprising the additive solution of claim 7 in an amount effective to reduce corrosion of a pipeline in contact with the pipeline fluid.

9. A refinery fluid stream comprising the additive solution of claim 7 in an amount effective to reduce corrosion of equipment and pipelines in contact with the fluid stream.

10. An oil and gas well drilling fluid comprising the additive solution of claim 7 in an amount effective to reduce corrosion of equipment and pipelines in contact with the drilling fluid.

11. A petroleum product comprising the additive solution of claim 7 in an amount effective to reduce corrosion of a container in contact with the petroleum product.

12. The additive solution of claim 7 , further comprising a scale inhibitor.

13. A method of increasing a storage stability of a concentrate for use in providing an additive solution suitable for a pipeline fluid, a refinery fluid, an oil and gas well drilling fluid, or a petroleum product consisting essentially of blending (a) a reaction product of imidazoline and a hydrocarbyl succinic acid or anhydride with (b) from about 2 to about 50 wt. % of an alkoxylated alkylphenol component; and (c) optionally, one or more of a dimer acid, a phosphate, and a polyether, wherein the concentrate remains stable and substantially clear down to about −45° C. in the presence of alcohol, water in an amount ranging from about 5 to about 40 percent by weight based on the total weight of the concentrate, friction reducers, and other components.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the additive solution comprising the concentrate comprises a mixture of alcohol and water, friction reducers, and other components.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the additive solution further comprises a scale inhibitor.

16. The method of claim 13 , wherein the concentrate includes a dimer acid, a phosphate and a polyether.

17. The method of claim 13 , wherein the imidazoline is derived from oleic acid and triethylene tetramine and wherein the hydrocarbyl succinic acid or anhydride comprises dodecyl succinic acid or anhydride.

18. The method of claim 13 , wherein the alkylphenol component comprises an ethoxylated alkylphenol component.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the alkylphenol component comprises from about 4 to about 15 ethoxy groups.

20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the alkylphenol component comprises nonylphenol.
