Drag Reducing Agents(DRA): Long chain polymer chemicals that when injected
into a pipeline where the fluid is turbulent modifies the flow regime by reducing
the frictional pressure drop along the pipeline length
Can either provide an increase in flow resulting in a much higher throughput or maintain the
same flow rate but with a substantial decrease in energy to save energy cost
Do not coat the pipeline wall, modify the fluid viscosity or have any chemical reaction with
the oil
Inhibiting turbulent bursts near the pipe wall, increase laminar sub layer
