Abstract

The inventions are for methods of forming and delivering a treatment fluid into a wellbore. Methods are provided of 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. In one aspect, the first and second fluids are pumped at different average bulk fluid velocities through different pumping chambers of fluid pumps. In another 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. This helps reduce wear on the pumps.
