Heavy oil, with its high viscosity and complex composition, presents significant technological and economic challenges for the oil industry. Therefore, the development of new technologies to effectively change the rheological properties of heavy oil is a pertinent task for the oil and gas sector. One of the promising directions for solving this problem is the...
A paper saw light in Chemical Engineering Science. The latest series of inhibitors developed by scientists of the Institute of Geology and Petroleum Technologies of Kazan Federal University surpasses the most effective foreign analogs in terms of their target properties, and also shows a tendency to biological degradation in offshore conditions. Today the developed class of hydrate formation...
