Abstract
Transporting extra-heavy crude is essential in Mexico because many reserves are high-viscosity fluids. For this reason, some improvers are designed, being useful organic formulations interacting with heavy molecules in crude oil. Biodiesel-based products are helpful for Mexican crudes but can be injected directly into pipelines and pre-mixed or preheated. This work aims to analyze how the concentration of the Bio reducer and the temperature of the flow of crude oil + Bio reducer injected influence the behavior of pressure losses during the transport of crude oil from the mixing point, considering the heat losses that occur through the wall of the tube.

Keywords
Bioreducer effect in extra-heavy crude, Oil viscosity reduction, Preheating reducer injection in pipeline.
