Systems and methods presented herein generally relate to a method that includes using a low-shear addition system at a centralized facility to add a friction-reducing additive to a fluid to produce friction-reduced hydraulic fracturing slurry. The method also includes conveying the friction-reduced hydraulic fracturing slurry from the centralized facility to at least one fracturing site. The method further includes injecting the friction-reduced hydraulic fracturing slurry into a reservoir to stimulate at least one well at the at least one fracturing site.

Distribution of hydraulic fracturing fluids

A method including obtaining a first image of a geographical location and a physical object located therein. Pixels in the first image are assigned to corresponding points in a Cartesian coordinate system defined specifically for the first image. The resulting virtual map includes a virtual representation of the physical object, a set of Cartesian coordinates assigned to a set of pixels in the pixels, and a set of Cartesian rotation angles assigned to the set of pixels. A first transform is calculated that scales the Cartesian coordinate system to a physical scale of the geographical location. A data structure stored in a data repository is formed by applying the first transform to the virtual map. The data structure includes the set of pixels, a set of scaled Cartesian coordinates, the set of Cartesian rotation angles, and a physical scale virtual representation of the physical object.

An enhanced hydraulic fluid comprises a conventional hydraulic fluid in combination with a predetermined amount of benzene by volume relative to the conventional hydraulic fluid. The predetermined amount of benzene preferably comprises between about 1.0% to about 20.0% benzene by volume, more preferably between about 1.5% to about 10.0% benzene by volume, and most preferably between about 2.0% to about 5.0% benzene by volume. The conventional hydraulic fluid may comprise electronics coolant liquids and oils. Conventional hydraulic fluids that may be mixed with benzene in the volumes described above include, but are not limited to, FLUORINERTS&#x2122; that include FC-43 and FC-70, including any perfluorinated, partially fluorinated, or partially chlorinated alkane with between about 3 to about 18 carbon atoms; mineral oils that include CAPELLA&#x2122; brand mineral oil; esther oils (synthetic or natural) that include formidals, and MIDEL&#x2122; brand esther oils.

System and method for enhancing hydraulic fluids for down hole use

A method includes measuring electrical conductivity of a treatment fluid with one or more sensors at various instants of time. The method is further performed by generating one or more signals indicative of the electrical conductivity of the treatment fluid and transmitting the one or more signals to a computer system. The method is further performed by analyzing the one or more signals to determine a phase change in the treatment fluid based upon a positive or negative change in the electrical conductivity of the treatment fluid from a predetermined electrical conductivity range.
