Flow can be enhanced using viscosity eitherreduction or drag reduction techniques. Drag reduction is considered as themost effective and most applicable method. The technique contributes inreducing the frictional energy losses during the flow by addition of little doses of materials knowing as drag-reducing agents. The present work focuses on more recent and most applicable drag-reducing agents used in crude oil flow enhancement via pipelines.
