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.
