摘要:
The invention is for a method of forming and delivering a treatment fluid into a wellbore. In one aspect, a method is provided for pumping a first fluid having a relatively high concentration of a particulate suspended therein and pumping a second fluid having either none of the particulate or a relatively low concentration of the particulate suspended therein, and then merging at least the first and second fluids to form a treatment fluid having a merged concentration of the particulate. According to this aspect, the first fluid has a relatively high concentration of a hydratable additive and the second fluid has either none or a relatively low concentration of the hydratable additive.

The inventions are for methods of forming and delivering a treatment fluid into a wellbore. In one aspect, methods are provided of treating a base aqueous solution to obtain a first aqueous solution, for example, to have a substantially reduced concentration of at least one component relative to the concentration of the component in the base aqueous solution, and using the first aqueous solution and a lower-quality water, such as the base aqueous solution, to form a treatment fluid. The first aqueous solution and the lower-quality water are merged after pumping the fluid portions toward the wellbore. The component is selected for being deleterious to the use or performance of a treatment fluid. More particularly, the component is selected from the group consisting of: a dissolved ion, oil, grease, a production chemical, and suspended, water-insoluble solids. This allows the use of lower-quality water for some of the water required for making up the treatment fluid.

According to this aspect, the first and second fluids are pumped at different average bulk fluid velocities through different pumping chambers of fluid pumps. This helps reduce wear on the pumps.

The inventions are for methods of forming and delivering a treatment fluid into a wellbore. In one aspect, methods are provided of using higher-quality water for one portion of the water for a treatment fluid and lower-quality water for another portion of the water for a treatment fluid, and merging the two portions to form the treatment fluid after pumping the fluid portions toward the wellbore. This allows the use of lower-quality water for some of the water required for making up the treatment fluid.

Method of treating a subterranean formation with a treatment fluid comprising providing water; providing a carbonyl-containing first compound comprising at least one carbonyl moiety; providing an amine-containing second compound comprising at least one amine moiety; combining the water, carbonyl-containing first compound, and amine-containing second compound to a substantially uniform mixture; allowing at least one crosslink to form between at least one carbonyl moiety and at least one amine-moiety to form a crosslinked treatment fluid; and, placing the crosslinked treatment fluid into the subterranean formation. Also, a subterranean treatment fluid comprising water, a carbonyl-containing first compound comprising at least one carbonyl moiety, and an amine-containing second compound comprising at least one amine moiety wherein at least one crosslink is formed between at least one carbonyl moiety and at least one amine moiety and wherein the treatment fluid is suitable for use in a subterranean treatment operation.

The present invention provides a method of measuring an amount of a substance depleted from a storage unit, including the steps of: supporting the storage unit on a vehicle, measuring a first weight of the storage unit and any liquid substance contained in the storage unit, allowing a quantity of the liquid substance to be discharged from the storage unit, measuring a second weight of the storage unit and any liquid substance contained in the storage unit, and determining the amount of liquid substance discharged or allowed to be discharged from the storage unit based on the first weight measurement and the second weight measurement.
