Claim 17:
18. A method for providing an electric blender unit portion of an electric blender system, operatively associated with a dedicated electric power source to process and blend a fracturing fluid capable of delivery to a wellbore, comprising:
providing a blender tub;
providing a fluid additive system;
providing a fluid addition source hopper;
providing an inlet electric motor configured to drive an inlet pump in communication with a fluid source, to pump the fluid source into the blender tub; wherein the fluid additive system is configured to deliver approximately 120 bbl/min of a blended fracturing fluid to a wellbore, and further comprises an additive hopper, an auger, and a discharge pump; wherein the auger and discharge pump are driven by an electric discharge motor, and wherein the discharge pump delivers the fluid additive source out of the blender tub; and
providing a control system that controls the electric blender system and the fracturing pump under a single point of control that syncs, or slaves, the electric blender system to a fracturing pump [.] operating the auger to add the fluid additive source to the hopper to pump to the blender tub and deliver blended fracturing fluid to a wellbore.
