A study was conducted to determine the factors affecting the viscosity of a surfactant stabilized viscous crude oil-in-water emulsion for pipeline transportation. Fresh water and synthetic formation were used to clarify the effect of aqueous phase salinity on the stability and viscosity of the emulsion. Surfactant dissolved in synthetic formation water was utilized to confirm the possibility of injecting the surfactant into a well bore to effect emulsification in the pump or tubing for the production heavy crude oils as oil-in-water emulsion.
