Abstract
The development of surfactants that were used in reducing viscosity of viscous crude oil was reviewed.The application of surfactants in reducing viscosity of viscous crude oil were introduced in which included anionic surfactant,nonionic surfactant,anionic-nonionic amphoteric surfactant and polymeric surfactant,biosurfactant,fluorocarbon surfactant et al.The merits and demerits of these kinds of surfactants were evaluated and the prospect of surfactants used in reducing viscosity of viscous crude oil was brought forward.
