Abstract

The article discusses the critical role of drag-reducing agents (DRAs) in the petroleum industry, focusing on their applications in crude oil transportation, water injection, drilling, and hydraulic fracturing. It highlights the mechanisms of drag reduction and the various types of DRAs, including polymers, solid particle suspensions, biological additives, and surfactants. The review also addresses the challenges and future research directions in the development and application of DRAs, emphasizing the need for advanced experimental methods and a better understanding of the drag reduction mechanism at the molecular level. The article concludes with recommendations for bridging research gaps and highlights the significant impact of DRAs on the efficiency and operational safety of the petroleum industry.
