Claim 18:
19. The method of claim 10, wherein
(i) one of the plurality of pressurized sources of base fluid has the first flow rate and another of the plurality of pressurized sources of base has the second flow rate;
(ii) during step “d” a first differential value is calculated for the tested physical and/or chemical characteristic data of the blended pressurized source of base fluid of step “b” and the at least one predetermined target physical and/or chemical characteristic data of the blended pressurized source of base fluid,
(iii) after the first differential value is calculated, the first flow rate is reduced and the second flow rate increased, and step “d” is repeated and a second differential value is calculated for the at least one tested physical and/or chemical characteristic data of the blended pressurized source of base fluid of step “b” and the at least one predetermined target physical and/or chemical characteristic data of the blended pressurized source of base fluid, and if, the second differential value is smaller than the first differential value then the first flow rate is reduced again and the second flow rate increased again, but if the second differential value is larger than the first differential value then the first flow rate is increased and the second flow rate decreased.
