Oil transportation by pipeline has become complex due to the high viscosity of heavy crude oils, which requires efficient methods to reduce viscosity for transportation. Common methods to reduce heavy crude viscosity include dilution with lighter crudes or alcohols, heating, and using surfactants to create stable emulsions. The RheoStress RS100 rheometer can measure viscosity through controlled rate, controlled stress, and oscillation test modes to help evaluate the effectiveness of different viscosity reduction methods.

operation. One of the major difficulties in the pipeline transporta- tion is the high viscous fluids that require efficient and economical ways to transfer the heavy crude Therefore, different methods are used in order to reduce the viscosity of the heavy crude for the pipeline transportation. For in- stance, dilution with lighter crudes or alcohols, heating, and the use of surfactants to stabilize emulsions are some of those com- mon methods. RheoStress RS100 from Haake. This rheometer has several operating test modes. It has a universal controlled rate (CR) mode, a controlled stress (CS) mode, and an oscillation (OSC) test mode. In the CS mode, shear stress is applied to a test sample by means of extremely low iner- tia. The drive shaft of the RS100 is centered by an air bearing to en- sure an almost frictionless transmission of the applied stress to the test fluid. The
