Flow enhancement in pipeline transportation for heavy crude oil emulsion

Stable concentrated oil in water (01W) emulsions was prepared and their application for heavy oil pipeline transportation was investigated using very viscous Malaysian heavy crude oil. Malaysian heavy crude oil samples namely Miri were used to produce heavy crude oil- in-water emulsions. Historicall...
