Abstract: Use of pyrolysis oil (commonly referred to as bio-oil, bio-crude or tire oil) in combination with naphtha or liquified petroleum gas (LPG) can be utilized to reduce viscosity, increase API gravity and/or liquify paraffin and/or asphaltene in heavy crude oil at a reduced, overall percentage of naphtha. Terpene, citrus isolates and/or non-ionic surfactants can be added to pyrolysis oil to form an additive. The additive can be combined with naphtha or LPG and added to heavy crude oil to reduce viscosity, increase API gravity, and/or liquify paraffin and/or asphaltene at a reduced, overall percentage of naphtha.
