摘要： An apparatus for mixing a fluid includes a mixing tub having a substantially circular horizontal cross-sectional shape, and an agitator assembly associated with the mixing tub. The agitator assembly includes a drive shaft having upper and lower agitators attached thereto. The drive shaft is located within the tub and has a substantially vertically oriented axis of rotation. The lower agitator moves fluid generally downward through a radially inner cross-sectional area defined within a first radius swept by the lower agitator. The upper agitator moves fluid within the first radius generally radially outward as that fluid is moved generally downward by the lower agitator, and moves fluid outside the first radius generally upward. A plurality of foraminous baffles are mounted within the tub for reducing rotational motion of the slurry within the tub about the generally vertical axis of the agitator shaft.

摘要： A mixing apparatus is provided for mixing slurries, particularly high density, high viscosity fracturing fluid slurries containing a large proportion of proppant material. A mixing tub has a generally round horizontal cross-sectional shape. A relatively large, low-speed rotating agitator is utilized to mix the slurry. The design of the agitator is such that a radially inwardly rolling toroidal shaped slurry flow zone is created adjacent the upper surface of the slurry within the tub. A stream of clean fracturing fluid is introduced into the tub near the center of the toroidal shaped flow zone. Dry proppant material is introduced into the tube and carried by the radially inwardly rolling flow into contact with the clean fracturing fluid. Foraminous baffles, preferably constructed from expanded metal sheets, are radially oriented within the tub to reduce rotational motion of the slurry within the tub without causing dropout of proppant from the slurry. A double suction vertical sump pump is utilized to pump the slurry from the tub.

摘要： The present invention relates to a method and system for hydrating a gel for treating a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation. The method includes directing a base fluid through an inlet into a mixer having an inner chamber housing a plurality of impellors extending radially from and rotating about a hub, causing a centrifugal motion of the base fluid, feeding a quantity of gel into the mixer, mixing the gel with the base fluid and discharging the now-hydrated gel from the inner chamber through an outlet of the mixer. A prewetting device may also be used. Thereafter, a variety of additives may be added to the gel fluid mix to form a fluid treatment to be introduced into a subterranean formation.

摘要： A method is provided for treating at least a portion of a well. The method includes the steps of: (a) simultaneously introducing into a mixer at least: (i) a first stream comprising water; (ii) a second stream comprising a dry, hydratable, viscosity-increasing agent for water, wherein the second stream is substantially free of water; and (iii) a third stream comprising a non-hydratable, insoluble particulate; wherein at least the first and second streams are not mixed prior to being introduced into the mixer; (b) mixing the first, second, and third streams in the mixer to form a pumpable mixture, wherein: (i) the mixer creates at least a sufficiently-high shear rate to disperse the viscosity-increasing agent and the insoluble particulate in the pumpable mixture; and (ii) the pumpable mixture has or is capable of developing a substantially-higher viscosity than the viscosity of the first stream; and (c) introducing a treatment fluid comprising the pumpable mixture into a wellbore.
