Abstract
An emulsion is mixed with fibers while the emulsion is moving through a surface tubing using a venturi. The fiber/emulsion mixture is injected into a pressurized tank and the pressurized fiber/emulsion mixture is injected from the pressurized tank into a desired location in a wellbore. Pumps and pressure boosters may be used to move the fluid. Alternatively, an emulsion and a fiber suspension is provided and a first downhole tubing disposed in a wellbore conveys the emulsion downhole while a second downhole tubing disposed in the wellbore and circumferentially enclosing all or part of the first downhole tubing conveys the fiber suspension downhole. The first downhole tubing has nozzles through which the emulsion passes into the second downhole tubing and the emulsion and the fiber suspension mix. The mixture exits the second downhole tubing through ports at a desired location in the wellbore.
