This invention refers to the manufacture and use of a petroleum asphaltene handler additive compound, which when applied in heavy oil, it makes asphaltenes to remain in suspension or dissolve, producing a viscosity reduction effect, this way avoiding formation of asphaltenic conglomerates precipitation in oil wells, storage tanks, as well as keeping pipelines from being obstructed. The components of this new additive compound achieve such a molecular coupling that the final liquid may be miscible in all types of oil. There are currently solubility models with the use of different methods for handling asphaltenes; some of them use solvents which generate other problems to the oil's physical and chemical stability, and in other cases, for example, the use of steam or heat, it becomes a temporary solution because the oil returns to the initial conditions at the end because reversible processes are utilized.
