Abstract: An apparatus and method for delivering a fluid mixture using direct injection to a mixing apparatus. The apparatus including a proppant storage vessel configured to contain therein a proppant material and output a proppant output flow at ambient pressure to a solid feed pump assembly. The apparatus further including a fracturing fluid storage vessel configured to contain therein a fracturing fluid and output a fracturing fluid output flow at a fracture fluid blending pressure. The solid feed pump assembly configured to output to a mixing apparatus, a proppant output flow at the fracture fluid blending pressure. The mixing apparatus configured to output a fluid mixture of the proppant and the fracturing fluid at the fracture fluid blending pressure. The mixing apparatus coupled to a high pressure pump assembly and configured to deliver the fluid mixture therein to a downstream component at an injection pressure.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for preparing and delivering a fluid mixture. The apparatus includes a high pressure differential solids feeder assembly and a pressurized mixing apparatus. The feeder assembly is coupled to a proppant storage vessel at ambient pressure and receives a continuous unpressurized proppant output flow from the proppant storage vessel. The feeder assembly is configured to output a continuous pressurized proppant output flow of sufficient mass to achieve continuous operation of the apparatus in an uninterrupted episode for an individual fracture stage. The pressurized mixing apparatus is coupled to the feeder assembly and in fluidic communication with the continuous pressurized proppant output flow and a continuous pressurized fracturing fluid flow. The pressurized mixing apparatus is configured to output a continuous flow of a pressurized fluid mixture of a sufficient volume and mass to achieve continuous operation of the apparatus in an uninterrupted episode for the individual fracture stage.
