The transportation of heavy and extra-heavy crude oils from the head-well to the refinery is becoming important since their production is currently rising all over the world. Such oils are characterized by a low API gravity (b 20) and high viscosity (N 10 3 cP at 298.15 K) that render difficult oil
A new approach to the design of power-law crude oil pipelines is presented. This method is based on the maximum pressure required in the handling of the power-law crude for normal uninterrupted flow, restarted flow and pressure to break the gel. The method is iterative as the rheology of power-law c
The stability of water-in-oil emulsions based on some North Sea crude oils has been studied with particular emphasis on the effects of ageing, i.e. exposure of the crude oils to air (and light). It is clearly demonstrated that the interfacial tension of a crude oil towards formation water decreases
