Abstract
The current application aims at methods and systems for preparing a pump-ready treatment fluid, delivering the pump-ready treatment fluid to a location operationally coupled to a wellsite, providing the pump-ready treatment fluid to a pump; and pumping the pump-ready treatment fluid into a wellbore. In some embodiments, the treatment fluid is a fracturing fluid for conducting a hydraulic fracturing operation on a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore.
Claims11
A method, comprising:
- preparing a pump-ready fracturing fluid comprising a carrying medium and an immiscible substance, wherein a volume fraction of the immiscible substance in the pump-ready fracturing fluid is 40% or more;
- delivering the pump-ready fracturing fluid to a location operationally coupled to a wellsite;
- providing the pump-ready fracturing fluid to a pump;
- and
- pumping the pump-ready fracturing fluid into a subterranean formation fracturing the subterranean formation
- wherein the immiscible substance comprises a plurality of particles such that a packed volume fraction (PVF) of the particles exceeds 64%.
