ABSTRACT:
A surfactant which is capable being used to enhance accessing, storing and transporting carbonaceous materials such as crude oil or coal. The surfactant includes a dielectric surfactant having a predetermined range of pH. The dielectric surfactant may include a pH-modifying agent. In one embodiment, the dielectric surfactant may be combined with crude oil to reduce the viscosity of the crude oil. In another embodiment, the dielectric surfactant is capable of extracting sulfur containing compounds from crude oil. In a further embodiment, a gaseous emulsion may be combined with a gas phase material to produce a complex.
