The composition and viscosity–temperature properties of waxy, high-resin crude oil treated in ultrasonic field have been studied by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy, and rotational viscometry techniques. It has been shown that the ultrasonic treatment leads to an increase in the proportion of lower n-alkanes in the oil fraction of the treated crude and a reduction in viscosity and the pour point of the crude oil.
