Method for improving the flow capacity and increasing the dilution capacity of diluents in methods for the production and transport of heavy and extra-heavy crude oils coming from the different phases of recovery of deposits (primary, secondary and enhanced)

Patent number: 11578279

Abstract: The invention relates to a method including a system of additives which increase fluidity and/or flow capacity and minimize pressure drops from the steps of lifting in production wells, collection lines, dehydration systems and ducts for transporting heavy and extra-heavy hydrocarbons. In addition, the injected system of chemical additives increases the dilution capacity of the solvents that need to be applied to improve the quality of the crude oil (reduce viscosity and density, and increase API gravity), thereby facilitating the dehydration and transport.

Type: Grant
