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.

Methods of pumping fluids having different concentrations of particulate at different average bulk fluid velocities to reduce pump wear and maintenance in the forming and delivering of a treatment fluid into a wellbore

Methods of using a lower-quality water for use as some of the water in the forming and delivering of a treatment fluid into a wellbore
