A multidisciplinary scientific team improved such physical properties of heavy and extra heavy oil as viscosity, surface tension and density by applying chemicals. The purpose is to facilitate its management and profitability during the stages of extraction, transportation and processing, says the head of research, Miguel Ángel Vázquez Guevara, at the Laboratory of Organic Synthesis, of the Department of Chemistry, at the University of Guanajuato, in center Mexico.
