Abstract:
A method of chemically changing extra-heavy/heavy crude oil into lighter crude oil and incrustation deposits in the down well casing's perforation using a chemical formulation under the following condition: 1) a working solution comprising heavy naphtha mixed with the chemical formulation is added to extra-heavy/heavy crude oil at ambient temperature by circulating through a centrifugal pump until the conversion of the heavy crude oil to lighter crude oil is complete and the crude oil is ready for transportation through pipeline or other means; or 2) thermal energy and equivalent to the normal pressure present, is artificially duplicated, at the down well location of perforations to contact the asphaltene incrustations with the formulation without dilution with naphtha or the energy imparted by a centrifugal pump.

Claim (Index 16):
The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the method utilizes the thermal energy present at the well head of heavy or extra heavy crude oil, contained in the crude's low viscosity at elevated temperature, that allows the contact of the formulation with the crude oil through a centrifugal pump directly without the requirement for preparing a working solution with heavy naphtha or dilution of the crude with light crude oil.
