Downhole Mixer Impact on Heavy Oil Flow by Steve Marfissi is a document available to read on EtoBox.

1) A field test was conducted using a downhole static mixer in a heavy oil well with high gas production to homogenize the crude-gas mixture and improve lift efficiency. 2) Initial testing without the static mixer showed large variations in fluid density, but testing with the mixer showed improved mixing and density variations less than 0.3 g/cc3. 3) Installation of the static mixer in the well reduced diluent consumption by 23% while maintaining the same API gravity of the diluted crude oil and similar oi
