Crude oil is considered the main source of energy worldwide. Important problems faced by oil transportation methods are spills and unintended releases. Therefore, most technological developments in the field of transportation methods are aimed at reducing emissions, improving efficiency or preventing spills and leaks. Pipeline systems are the safest, most efficient and economical way to transport crude oil. The transportation process suffers from serious problems, such as: asphaltene and paraffin interacting with the structure damages it, pressure drop in the pipes and high energy consumption during pumping. One of the most important economic tasks when transporting oil through a pipeline is to maintain fluidity and reduce the pressure drop along the pipe. This article highlights the latest and most effective development methods that were used to increase the fluidity of crude oil in pipelines, and also examines the possibilities of reducing energy costs for transporting heavy oils and hydraulic resistance of pipelines by creating intermediate solar station devices consisting of a parabolocylindrical concentrator with a tracking system and a solar panel with a converter that increase the safety and environmental friendliness of oil transportation by reducing the risk of accidents. The intermediate solar station uses a renewable energy source and is clean from an environmental point of view, since it does not produce harmful emissions. The use of solar energy as a green alternative to traditional energy carriers makes it possible to increase the productivity of the pipeline by up to 50 %, eliminate energy costs during oil transportation.

An essential part for crude oil extraction is flow assurance, being critical to maintain a financially sustainable flow while getting the petroleum to the surface. When not well managed, it can develop into a significant issue for the O & G industry. By heating the fluids, problems with flow assurance, including paraffin deposition, asphaltene, and methane hydrate, can be reduced. Also, as the temperature rises, a liquid’s viscosity decreases. Research focusing on the application of magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) in the oil industry is very recent. When magnetic nanofluids are exposed to an alternating magnetic field, the viscosity decreases by several orders of magnitude as a result of the fluid’s temperature rising due to a phenomenon known as magnetic hyperthermia. This work focuses on the use of magnetic NPs (9 nm) in heavy crude oil (API 19.0). The frequency and strength of the magnetic field, as well as the characteristics of the fluid and the NPs intrinsic properties all affect the heating efficiency. For all of the experimental settings in this work, the flowloop’s temperature increased, reaching a maximum of Δ T = 16.3 °C, using 1% wt NPs at the maximum available frequency of the equipment (533 kHz) and the highest field intensity for this frequency (14 kA/m), with a flow rate of 1.2 g/s. This increase in temperature causes a decrease of nearly 45% on the heavy crude oil viscosity, and if properly implemented, could substantially increase oil flow in the field during production.
