Which outcome reduces oil pipeline throughput when crude viscosity increases?

💡 Explanation

Increasing viscosity raises fluid resistance and thus pressure drop, because viscous forces dissipate energy via increased internal friction within the oil. Therefore, more pump power is needed to overcome resistance, rather than enhanced throughput which viscosity impedes.
