Abstract

The crude oil samples produced from various fields are characterized by wide range of rheological characteristics. On the quantitative indicators of these parameters and, consequently, on the hydraulic resistance of the oil flow movement through the pipeline, significantly depend the possibilities of increasing the pipeline transport carrying capacity.

The created physical model enables to determine rheological parameters of crude oil of various types, such as dynamic viscosity and solidification temperature with the dependence on preheating temperature and concentration of specialty solvents.
