Abstract

Sand or rock masses containing mineral oil are deoiled with a deoiling agent containing an aqueous solution of a water-soluble copolymer which is a random distribution of 5 to 60% of weight of units of the formula ##STR1## 2 to 40% by weight of units of the formula ##STR2## 38 to 93% by weight of units of the formula ##STR3## and partial hydrolysates thereof, wherein when R.sup.1 is hydrogen, R.sup.2 is hydrogen, methyl or ethyl, Y is --CO--NH--C(CH.sub.3).sub.2 --CH.sub.2 -- or a direct bond, and X.sup..sym. is a cation; when R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are identical or different, each is hydrogen, methyl, ethyl or, together are trimethylene, Y is --CO--NH--C(CH.sub.3).sub.2 --CH.sub.2 -- and X.sup..sym. is a cation.
