Compositions may include a wax modifier that is the product of a reaction between a polysaccharide having a number of sugar subunits in the range of 2 to 60 and one or more fatty acid reagents, and a reservoir fluid produced from a subterranean formation comprising one or more components capable of producing waxes. Methods may include contacting a hydrocarbon fluid with a wax modifier, wherein the wax modifier is the product of the reaction of a polysaccharide and one or more fatty acid reagents. Methods may also include introducing a wax modifier into a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation, wherein the wax modifier is the product of a reaction between a polysaccharide and one or more fatty acid reagents; producing hydrocarbons from the subterranean formation; and allowing the wax modifier to inhibit the precipitation of a wax.

Treating a sulfide scale includes contacting the sulfide scale with an oxidizing composition that includes a first oxidizer and a second oxidizer.

A method of producing ultra high molecular weight (UHMW) C.sub.4-C.sub.30 -olefin drag reducing agent (DRA). The method includes polymerizing in a reactor a first -olefin monomer in the presence of catalyst and hydrocarbon solvent to produce the DRA. The catalyst consists essentially of at least one tertiary monophenyl amine having a formula R.sup.1R.sup.2N-aryl, where R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are the same or different, and each is a hydrogen, an alkyl, or a cycloalkyl group, where at least one of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 contain at least one carbon atom; at least one titanium halide having a formula TiX.sub.m, where m is from 2.5 to 4.0 and X is a halogen containing moiety; and at least one cocatalyst having a formula AlR.sub.nY.sub.3-n where R is a hydrocarbon radical, Y is a halogen or hydrogen, and n is 1-20. Further, the catalyst is absent of a carrier or support.

A method of forming a drag reducing polymer formulation. The method begins by forming a drag reducing polymer. A hydrocarbon additive is then incorporated with the drag reducing polymer to form a drag reducing polymer formulation. The drag reducing polymer formulation is then used as a drag reducer in hydrocarbon pipelines.

The transportation of captured carbon from production sites to a destination at which it can be stored or used traditionally requires the carbon to be carried into a tanker truck for road transport, which is costly. Disclosed embodiments eliminate or reduce this cost by compressing the captured carbon into an existing natural gas pipeline. The existing network of pipelines can then be used to transport the captured carbon to a distant destination, while potentially picking up additional captured carbon along the way. In addition, a portion of the captured carbon at each production site may be redirected back to the engine of the compressor to enable higher power density and prevent knocking.

A planetary drive system that aligns four fluid ends for a pump or four compressor cylinders in the same plane, allowing for four fluid ends/compressor cylinders to be driven by one rotation of the pump's motor. Additionally, the planetary drive system is stackable to allow, for example eight, twelve, or other multiples of fluid ends or compressor cylinders to be driven while minimizing any reduction in output pressure. The chemical injection pump also includes threaded vents on the fluid ends to capture chemicals primed through the valves to avoid spillage and waste during the priming process. The air compressor cylinders also include pistons with enhanced vacuum actuation under a flexible inlet (e.g. flapper inlet).
