description This article analyzes the dependence of the choice of the method of transportation of high-viscosity oil on the rheological characteristics of the oil in question. An analysis of existing rheological models of high-viscosity oil was carried out, and it was found that a number of models have certain features (model coefficients, their purpose, quantity) that affect the choice of a rheological model of oil. The dependences for determining the coefficient of dynamic viscosity when pumping high-viscosity oil with the addition of pour-point depressants were studied, and the dependence of the hydraulic resistance coefficient when depressants are added to the oil was obtained. A method for choosing a rational oil heating temperature and diluent concentration to achieve the maximum pipeline performance is substantiated.
