[As I See It]

Please don't lie about what I said. Show me where I said "pipeline pump stations operate with laminar flows".

And yes, crude oil is polar just as all the articles I cited as proof indicated. And yes, it is the higher concentration of polar fractions that are primarily responsible for increases in crude oil viscosity (just as the articles I cited indicated). By reducing the viscosity of the polar fractions you will reduce much of the viscosity of heavier crude oil. That is what the AOT is designed to do. It does not matter how much of the total volume the polar fractions are. If they are responsible for a significant amount of the viscosity of the crude, then reducing their viscosity will have a significant impact on the overall viscosity of the crude oil.

I find it interesting that you have gone from saying that crude oil is non-polar to saying that "Small fraction contains polar element but it’s insignificant". I guess that is like being "a little bit pregnant".
