In order heavy oils to be transported via pipeline from the source, the viscosity must be lower than 150 centistokes at 100 °F. The crude oils being very viscous on extraction have to go through some processing, therefor this paper investigate the effect of polarity and effect of additive to detect the influence of this material on reduction of heavy oil viscosity.
