High-viscosity crude oils from the Yablunivske field (Ukraine, Poltava region) have been studied. The oils were diluted with gas condensate to reduce viscosity, and then various demulsifiers were added. It was established that it is expedient to dilute oil with heavy gas condensate and dehydrate it with PM-1441 brand A non-ionogenic demulsifier, based on block copolymers of ethylene and propylene oxides. The dewatering degree was found to be 95 %.

One of the methods of influence on rheological properties of heavy high-viscosity crude oils is ultrasonic treatment. Ultrasonic treatment allows reducing the viscosity of crude oil and, therefore, reducing the costs of its production and transportation. In this paper, the influence of ultrasonic treatment on the rheological characteristics of crude oil (sample No. 1 API = 29.1, sample No. 2 API = 15.9) was investigated. An experimental method was developed. Experimental studies were carried out using the Physica MCR 102 rheometer. The influence of the intensity and duration of ultrasonic treatment on the viscosity of the initial crude oils was studied for 24 h. In addition, the rheological characteristics of the treated oil were investigated after its natural cooling to 293 K. The results are compared with similar results for thermal heating.

Abstract A valve was designed, built, and tested using a Star Frame mechanical amplifier driven by multilayered piezo-electric actuators. This valve was designed to dispense many different types of molten polymers, adhesives, and highly rilled coating materials. The valve was a simple ball and seat design with a stroke of 0.38 mm, a ball diameter of 2.4 mm, and a seating diameter of 1.5 mm. The valve was successfully tested with molten block copolymers with viscosities as high as 45,000 centipoise, at temperatures of up to 190 deg. C and at frequencies of up to 700 Hz continuous duty. The valve was also successfully tested at 1 kHz for short durations.

Deposits of tight high viscosity heavy and waxy oil are becoming increasingly important in the world economy. They are also of particular importance in Russia, where the fields of easy accessible oil are practically depleted, and the newly discovered ones are located mainly in the northern latitudes of the country, which complicates their delivery to places of consumption, and use of so-called "special methods" (heating, chemical reagents) leadsytanb to an increase Cost. Despite the abundance of such methods, one can distinguish one of the most accessible and understandable from the point of view of the physico-chemical effect - dilution with hydrocarbon diluents, as can be effectively used by adding ready-made motor fuels and light distillates of oil, as well as - cheaper stable gas condensate, also co-produced in oil fields.In the present work, the experience of blending high viscosity heavy and congealing waxy oil with various types of hydrocarbon diluents has been considered with the aim of improving the operational properties of hydrocarbon crude, the transport and processing of which are associated with high costs due to the peculiarities of the composition and properties of the oil. The results of laboratory experiments on dilution of heavy and congealing oils with diesel fuel and stable gas condensate are given, on the basis of which recommendations on the effective usage these special methods. Keywords: oil; rheology; effective viscosity; pour point; hydrocarbon diluent; stable gas condensate.

A method was proposed and a complex of studies were run to improve the effectiveness of high viscosity crude oil transport using the hydrodynamic cavitation method. A cavitator design with a slot cylinder was offered based on the design hydraulic and thermodynamic parameters simulation results. The cost effectiveness of the cavitation method introduction for treatment of high viscosity crude oils at heating stations during transport is proved.
