Use of organic fluorochemical compounds with oleophobic and hydrophobic groups in asphaltenic crude oils as viscosity reducing agents.

摘要

A method of reducing the viscosity of asphaltenic crude oils by incorporating into said crude oil an effective viscosity reducing amount of an oil soluble organic compound having at least one oleophobic and hydrophobic fluoroaliphatic group, and optionally a low viscosity diluent, and said compositions.
