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 6):
The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the secondary chemical comprises one or more non-ionic surfactants and the amount of the secondary chemical per barrel of heavy or extra heavy crude is varied based on the crude oil's ratio of resin to asphaltene content and specifically on the polar property of one end of these contents measured as the dipole moment per mole, wherein the parameter is the molecular weight as the numerator and the dipole moment squared in the denominator, and the amount of the secondary chemical decreases for one crude oil relative to another crude oil as the value of the ratio decreases.
