Heavy crude oils have a large share of the world’s potentially recoverable oil reserves. They are characterized by API gravity below 22.3° and possess extremely high viscosity, generally from 1,000 to more than 100,000 mPa·s. Transportation of heavy crude oils through pipelines is highly complex ope...
