A new approach to the design of power-law crude oil pipelines is presented. This method is based on the maximum pressure required in the handling of the power-law crude for normal uninterrupted flow, restarted flow and pressure to break the gel. The method is iterative as the rheology of power-law crudes is highly temperature dependent. This method is an improvement of the conventional oil pipeline design model.
