Summary:Case 6293 METHOD OF TRANSPORTING VISCOUS HYDROCARBONS An improvement in the method of transporting viscous hydrocarbons through pipes is disclosed. Briefly, the improvement comprises adding water containing an effective amount of certain substituted imidazoline amphoteric surfactants to the hydrocarbon. The resulting oil-in-water emulsion has a much lower viscosity and is more easily transported.
