Abstract

N-hydroxyalkylated polyamines, methods of making N-hydroxyalkylated polyamines, and drilling fluids containing N-hydroxyalkylated polyamines are provided, in which the N-hydroxyalkylated polyamine includes Formula (I): where R 1 and R 2 are independently a —C or —CH group; R 3 is an aliphatic hydrocarbyl; R 4 and R 5 are independently acyclic hydrocarbyls, or R 1 , R 2 , R 4 , and R 5 are covalently connected to form a cyclic hydrocarbyl; and R 6 , R 7 , R 8 , and R 9 are independently acyclic hydrocarbyls or acyclic heterohydrocarbyls.

Claims (47)

1. An N-hydroxyalkylated polyamine comprising Formula (I):

where:

R 1 and R 2 are independently a —C or —CH group;

R 3 is an aliphatic hydrocarbyl;

at least one of R 4 and R 5 are unsaturated C 2 -C 20 acyclic hydrocarbyls; and

R 6 , R 7 , R 8 , and R 9 are independently acyclic hydrocarbyls or acyclic heterohydrocarbyls.

2. The N-hydroxyalkylated polyamine of claim 1 , where R 3 is a saturated or unsaturated C 2 -C 20 acyclic hydrocarbyl.

3. The N-hydroxyalkylated polyamine of claim 1 , where both R 4 and R 5 are unsaturated C 2 -C 20 acyclic hydrocarbyls.

4. The N-hydroxyalkylated polyamine of claim 1 , where R 3 is a saturated C 5 -C 10 acyclic hydrocarbyl, and R 4 and R 5 independently are C 5 -C 15 acyclic hydrocarbyls.

5. A drilling fluid comprising:

an aqueous phase;

an oleaginous phase; and

an N-hydroxyalkylated polyamine comprising Formula (I):

where:

R 1 and R 2 are independently a —C or —CH group;

R 3 is an aliphatic hydrocarbyl;

R 4 and R 5 are independently acyclic hydrocarbyls, or R 1 , R 2 , R 4 , and R 5 are covalently connected to form a cyclic hydrocarbyl; and

R 6 , R 7 , R 8 , and R 9 are independently acyclic hydrocarbyls or acyclic heterohydrocarbyls.

6. The drilling fluid of claim 5 , where R 3 is a saturated or unsaturated C 2 -C 20 acyclic hydrocarbyl group or at least one of R 4 and R 5 are unsaturated C 2 -C 20 acyclic hydrocarbyls.

7. The drilling fluid of claim 5 , where Formula (I) comprises unsaturated or saturated cyclic hydrocarbyls formed from R 1 , R 2 , R 4 and R 5 , the cyclic hydrocarbyls being selected from cyclohexane, cyclohexene, benzene, naphthalene, or decahydronapthalene.

8. The drilling fluid of claim 7 , where the cyclic hydrocarbyls are substituted with one or more of alkyl, aminoalkyl, aminoalkoxy, hydroxyl, alkoxyl, alkylthio, amino, halo, haloalkyl, silyl, phosphoryl, sulfonyl, saturated or unsaturated C 2 -C 20 acyclic hydrocarbyls, or combinations thereof.

9. The drilling fluid of any of claim 7 , where the cyclic hydrocarbyls are substituted with at least two acyclic hydrocarbyls or at least one C 2 -C 20 aminoalkoxy comprising two terminal hydroxyls.

10. An N-hydroxyalkylated polyamine comprising Formula (I):

where:

R 1 and R 2 are independently a —C or —CH group;

R 3 is an aliphatic hydrocarbyl;

both R 4 and R 5 are unsaturated C 2 -C 20 acyclic hydrocarbyls; and

R 6 , R 7 , R 8 , and R 9 are independently acyclic hydrocarbyls or acyclic heterohydrocarbyls.

11. The N-hydroxyalkylated polyamine of claim 10 , where R 3 is a saturated C 5 -C 10 acyclic hydrocarbyl, and R 4 and R 5 independently are C 5 -C 15 acyclic hydrocarbyls.

12. The N-hydroxyalkylated polyamine of claim 10 , where R 3 is a saturated or unsaturated C 2 -C 20 acyclic hydrocarbyl.

13. An N-hydroxyalkylated polyamine comprising Formula (I):

where:

R 1 and R 2 are independently a —C or —CH group;

R 3 is a saturated C 5 -C 10 acyclic hydrocarbyl;

R 4 and R 5 are independently are C 5 -C 15 acyclic hydrocarbyls; and

R 6 , R 7 , R 8 , and R 9 are independently acyclic hydrocarbyls or acyclic heterohydrocarbyls.

14. An N-hydroxyalkylated polyamine comprising Formula (I):

where:

R 1 and R 2 are independently a —C or —CH group;

R 3 is an aliphatic hydrocarbyl;

Formula (I) comprises unsaturated or saturated cyclic hydrocarbyls formed from R 1 , R 2 , R 4 and R 5 , the cyclic hydrocarbyls being selected from cyclohexane, cyclohexene, benzene, naphthalene, or decahydronapthalene;

the cyclic hydrocarbyls are substituted with at least two acyclic hydrocarbyls; and

R 6 , R 7 , R 8 , and R 9 are independently acyclic hydrocarbyls or acyclic heterohydrocarbyls.

15. The N-hydroxyalkylated polyamine of claim 14 , where R 3 is a saturated or unsaturated C 2 -C 20 acyclic hydrocarbyl.

16. The N-hydroxyalkylated polyamine of claim 14 , where the cyclic hydrocarbyls are substituted with one or more of an alkyl, aminoalkyl, aminoalkoxy, hydroxyl, alkoxyl, alkylthio, amino, halo, haloalkyl, silyl, phosphoryl, sulfonyl, saturated or unsaturated C 2 -C 20 acyclic hydrocarbyls, or combinations thereof.

17. The N-hydroxyalkylated polyamine of claim 14 , where the cyclic hydrocarbyls are substituted with at least two acyclic hydrocarbyls.
