Abstract

See full text

A system for reducing pressure drop associated with turbulent fluid flow through conduits located in remote locations (e.g., deep under ground and/or deep under sea). Such reduction in pressure drop is accomplished by transporting a drag reducer through a long conduit of small diameter and thereafter injecting the drag reducer into a host fluid at the remote location, to make a treated fluid. The treated fluid is then extracted from the remote location via a production/transportation conduit. The presence of the drag reducer in the treated fluid reduces pressure drop associated with flow through the production/transportation conduit.
