Abstract

This paper outlined the composition of some flow improvers and their applications in long-distance pipeline transportation in China, thereafter compared the effectiveness of using oil-based and water-based viscosity reducers in both low-viscosity and high-viscosity heavy oil wells in China. At the end, this paper summarized challenge in the research of viscosity reducer for the heavy oil formation drive.
