Abstract
This paper describes the drag reduction mechanism, influence factor, agent injection process and calculation equations of drag reduction agent (DRA). Combined with the Liquid PowerTM drag reduction test in HuaYue and YueFu Oil Pipelines, an analysis to experimental data is made and drag reduction effectiveness is evaluated. Result shows that DRA can greatly increase pipeline transporting capability and lower operation pressure and load of transporting equipment to some extent, which lays a foundation for DRA's application in Longdong Regions.
