    Abstract: A method of heterogeneous proppant placement in a subterranean fracture is disclosed. The method comprises injecting well treatment fluid including proppant (16) wherein the proppant comprises from 1 to 100 percent in weight of stiff, low-elasticity and low-deformability elongated particles (34) and proppant-spacing filler material called a channelant (18) through a wellbore (10) into the fracture (20), heterogeneously placing the proppant in the fracture in a plurality of proppant clusters or islands (22) spaced apart by the channelant (24), and removing the channelant filler material (24) to form open channels (26) around the pillars (28) for fluid flow from the formation (14) through the fracture (20) toward the wellbore (10). The proppant and channelant can be segregated within the well treatment fluid, or segregated during placement in the fracture. The channelant can be dissolvable particles, initially acting as a filler material during placement of the proppant in the fracture, and later dissolving to leave the flow channels between the proppant pillars. The well treatment fluid can include fibers to provide reinforcement and consolidation of the proppant and, additionally or alternatively, to inhibit settling of the proppant in the treatment fluid.

    Abstract: A system includes a regional blending facility having a number of bulk receiving facilities, where each bulk facility receives and stores a particle type having a distinct size modality, a bulk moving device that transfers particles between the bulk receiving facilities and of a blending/continuously receiving vessel and/or a mixer, and a carrying medium vessel. The mixer receives particles from the blending/continuously receiving vessel and/or the bulk moving device, receives a carrying medium from the carrying medium vessel, mixes the particles with the carrying medium, and provides a mixed treatment fluid. The system includes a fluid conduit that fluidly couples a wellsite location with the regional blending facility, where the fluid conduit delivers the mixed treatment fluid to the wellsite and/or delivers produced fluid from a wellbore positioned at the wellsite to the regional blending facility.

    Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for providing an activation pressure for a down hole too comprising a tool string having a pressure activated tool located at a distal end thereof, an opening passing through the tool string from an interior to an exterior thereof and a blocking body locatable in said opening operable to block a portion of said opening while leaving a reduced opening therethrough selected to produce a pressure within the tool string sufficient to activate the tool at a first fluid flow rate, wherein the blocking body is formed of a material operable to be dissolved by a solvent. The method comprises pumping a fluid down the tool string at a first fluid flow rate to activate the tool, pumping a solvent down the tool string operable to dissolve the blocking body, pumping the fluid down the tool string at a second fluid flow rate above the first flow rate and transporting a replacement blocking body down the tool string to the opening.
