Patent attributes
A system includes a regional blending facility having a number of bulk receiving facilities, where each bulk facility receives and stores a particle type having a distinct size modality, a bulk moving device that transfers particles between the bulk receiving facilities and of a blending/continuously receiving vessel and/or a mixer, and a carrying medium vessel. The mixer receives particles from the blending/continuously receiving vessel and/or the bulk moving device, receives a carrying medium from the carrying medium vessel, mixes the particles with the carrying medium, and provides a mixed treatment fluid. The system includes a fluid conduit that fluidly couples a wellsite location with the regional blending facility, where the fluid conduit delivers the mixed treatment fluid to the wellsite and/or delivers produced fluid from a wellbore positioned at the wellsite to the regional blending facility.
