Abstract
The invention relates to a method including a system of additives which increase fluidity and/or flow capacity and minimize pressure drops from the steps of lifting in production wells, collection lines, dehydration systems and ducts for transporting heavy and extra-heavy hydrocarbons. In addition, the injected system of chemical additives increases the dilution capacity of the solvents that need to be applied to improve the quality of the crude oil (reduce viscosity and density, and increase API gravity), thereby facilitating the dehydration and transport.
