Evaluation of Drag Reduction by Cationic Surfactant in Crude Oil

In our quest in finding drag reduction chemicals we are continuing to synthesize the cationic surfactants. In this project not only we are going to prepare a cationic surfactant RCH2(CH3)3X which X could be chloride or bromide ion then we are going to study its drag reducing properties in a pipeline which is building by our research group now. The effect of concentration of surfactant in drag reduction will also be studied.
