    Abstract: A method of preparing a fracturing slurry comprising a concentrated gel and water, the method comprising preparing a concentrated gel from a polymer and water, diluting the concentrated gel with additional water to form a fracturing carrier fluid at a predefined downhole concentration, preparing a fracturing slurry comprising the fracturing carrier fluid, and pumping the fracturing slurry downhole at or below a predefined maximum slurry rate. The fracturing carrier fluid is formed upon allowing the concentrated gel sufficient residence time to at least partially hydrate.

    Abstract: A multi-tank system for preparing fluids for hydraulic fracturing of reservoirs and methods of injecting the prepared fluid upstream from pumping units are disclosed. The multi-tank system allows for a proppant slurry to be continuously formed and mixed with a proppant carrier in staggered phases to form a fracturing fluid. This fracturing fluid can then be injected into the reservoir at normal injection pressures, thus reducing wear and downtime on the blender, and allowing continuous flow of proppant.
