... ABSTRACT The Gannet oil export pipeline is operating at relatively low flow rates. At these low flow rates, there is potential to have a flow regime with laminar flow instead of with turbulent flow. Therefore, the viscosity, or rather the rheological properties, of this oil are essential...

... Abstract This paper focuses on the problem of gellation, one of the key problems associated with the pipeline transportation of waxy crude oils. The impact of thermal cycling on the rheological properties, such as viscosity and yield stress, of waxy crude oils is investigated in detail...
