Pipeline transport of heavy crudes as stable foamy oil

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

A new idea was proposed to transport heavy crudes as foamy oil at normal temperature. The effects offoaming agent type and concentration, foam stabilizer type and concentration, oil–water volume ratioand temperature on the formation and stability of foamy oil were evaluated. The foamy oil properties anddrag characteristics of foamy oilflow in small diameter pipes were investigated. The results indicate thatthe prepared stable foamy oil could be characterized as non-Newtonian power lawfluid. The predictedpressure drops were in good agreement with the measured ones. The significant dynamic viscosityreduction rates were obtained.
