Abstract

---

During the exploration and production of oil and gas, vast quantities of chemicals about two-hundred thousand tones are consumed. Moreover, it is interesting to note that of these two thousand tons, over one hundred thousand tons are lost into the environment each year causing great damage. As a consequence, there are strong regulatory pressures on the oil and gas companies to move towards the use of Eco-friendly “green” chemicals. The desire to replace petroleum-based materials with environmentally friendly and sustainable alternatives has stimulated the development of vegetable oil-based materials as petroleum additives. The advantages of petroleum additives from renewable sources have long been recognize. Ingeneral, petroleum additives based on renewable sources have very low or almost negligible aquatic toxicity and are, in most cases, readily biodegradable. The triglyceride oil can be further broken down to yield free fatty acid. The fatty acid can be modified by chemical reaction to give a range of other functional groups, amides, amines, esters. these chemically modified fatty acid are useful especially for petroleumrelated applications, used as demulsifier ,corrosion inhibitor and bactericides , works with organophilic clay to produce an amine-treated clay (mud) used for filtration control in oil drilling base mud and synthetic base. This workshop aims to produce a new methods to prepare a new Nano-formulations from renewable resources have multifunctional properties to replace the existed commercial formulation for gas and oil-field industries. The new Nano-synthesized multifunctional are of superior results compared with the reference samples
