ABSTRACT
Crude oil data analysis is necessary to know the possibilities in energy reduction in transport and some uses in many areas, such as materials construction or emissions reduction. Currently, extra-heavy crude oil is produced in Mexico and other countries like Canada, Venezuela, and the United States. For Mexico, in many cases, it is found as a part of "chapopote" in soils; solids and oils can be mixed to produce valuable materials on building construction. Models and representations of oils and many liquids are essential in the industry, allowing to predict a priori the characterization in many application cases. This first paper presents the experimental results related to the behavior of the surface tension of crude oil and a mixture of crude oil and a flow improver and the behavior of the viscosity concerning the temperature and the improver fraction in volume by statistical analysis and application of a mixing-rule for two liquids. From these results, statistical models were adjusted to be taken as a basis for interpreting the physical-chemical mechanism. It is possible to improve the transport and extraction of heavy crudes through chemical additives that act as flow improvers opening the possibility to combine with solids for some proposes as permeability change.
