ABSTRACT:
A method of transporting viscous hydrocarbons which involves introducing into a pipeline or well-bore with the viscous hydrocarbons a solution containing an anionic surfactant or soap such as sodium tridecyl sulfate or sodium oleate together with a guanidine salt and optionally with an alkalinity agent and/or a nonionic surfactant such as a polyethoxylated alcohol thereby forming a low viscosity salt tolerant oil-in-water emulsion.
