Mining dilution

Mining dilution viscosity is about a certain amount of oil added to dilute heavy oil, the lower the viscosity.
Thermal recovery: the steam stimulation, a steam flooding, is to inject high pressure steam reservoir, heating oil in the oil, the oil expeller, the viscosity, increase the mobility of crude oil, to promote the flow of oil in the oil production wells. Another injection of steam for heating oil, steam becomes water flow stagnation replacement crude oil in the gap. Oil heated by steam injection, machine for pellets volatile components, hydrocarbon volume expansion will also push the flow of crude oil production wells.
Emulsion viscosity: Coming aqueous solution containing a surfactant mixed with heavy oil, and in the tubing and pump tubing formed on the surface hydrophilic wetting surface. Greatly reducing the resistance of the oil flow, the oil to function properly mined.
