Abstract
Methods comprising preparing a gelled fluid comprising a base fluid, a first gelling agent, and particulates; introducing the gelled fluid into a process stream, the process stream in fluid communication with a subterranean formation; introducing anhydrous ammonia into the gelled fluid at a downstream location in the process stream, thereby forming a particulate-containing treatment fluid; and introducing the particulate-containing treatment fluid into the subterranean formation from the process stream and through the wellhead.
