Methods for use in treating hydrocarbon streams are provided. The methods of the present disclosure include; introducing one or more alcohols into a hydrocarbon stream that includes one or more hydrolyzable chloride compounds; allowing the one or more alcohols to interact with, the one or more hydrolyzable chloride compounds; and increasing: one of a solubility value or a dispersancy value of at least a portion of the hydrolyzable chloride compounds in the hydrocarbon steam.

Low sulfur marine fuel compositions and methods for making the same are provided. The compositions exhibit a sulfur content of at most 0.50 wt. %, a solvent power of at least 0.30, and a P-value of at least 1.15.

The present invention provides compositions and methods for reducing hydrogen sulfide and/or mercaptans in oil and/or natural gas as well as for reducing microbial induced corrosion (“MIC”) in oil and gas production environments. In particular, the subject invention provides environmentally-friendly compositions and methods for reducing hydrogen sulfide in oil and natural gas environments by controlling biocorrosive bacteria, such as SRB, therein.

In an embodiment, a method for decreasing reactor fouling in a steam cracking process is provided. The method includes steam cracking a hydrocarbon feed to obtain a quench oil composition comprising a concentration of donatable hydrogen of 0.5 wt. % or more based on a total weight percent of the quench oil composition; exposing a steam cracker effluent flowing from a pyrolysis furnace to the quench oil composition to form a mixture; and fractionating the mixture in a separation apparatus to obtain a steam cracker tar. In another embodiment, a hydrocarbon mixture is provided. The hydrocarbon mixture includes a mid-cut composition.
