ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed for reducing the viscosity of a hydrocarbon feed. The feed is heated from an initial temperature to a second temperature and an oxidizing agent is introduced to oxidize components in the feed and provide heat to increase the temperature of the feed to a reaction temperature. The reaction temperature is maintained to produce a reaction product having a lower viscosity than the feed.
