Selection of Conditions for Shipment of Crude Oils in Pipelines

Abstract

As the first studies showed, the new Uzbekistan crude oils are viscous. Using crude oil from the Mingbulak field, we found that its high viscosity (22.38 mm2/sec at 50°C) is primarily due to the high content of wax (up to 8.56 wt. %), silicone resins (up to 15.65 wt. %), and asphaltenes (6.8 wt. %) [1, 2]. Shipment of such crude in a pipeline requires high power consumption.
