Key words: oil, water-oil emulsions, pour point, paraffins, asphaltenes.

The results of experimental study of the pour point of water-oil emulsions are given. The dependences of the pour point on water content in emulsions for oils with different ratio of the basic structure forming components (asphaltenes, resins and paraffins) are obtained.
