A Drag Reducing Agent (DRA) is a substance added to pipeline fluids, such as oil, water, or natural gas, to reduce the resistance (drag) that the fluid encounters as it flows through pipes. By minimizing friction between the fluid and the pipe walls, DRAs enhance the flow efficiency, potentially allowing for the transport of larger volumes with less energy consumption.
