Abstract

See full text

An improvement in the method of transporting viscous hydrocarbons through pipes is disclosed. Briefly, the improvement comprises adding water containing an effective amount of the adipate ester of a certain polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene block polymers. The method is especially useful when co-produced 'hard' water is used. The resulting oil-in-water emulsion has a lower viscosity and is more easily transported.
