Claim 29:
30. A method comprising:
providing a source of electric power at a site containing a wellbore to be fractured, wherein the source of electrical power is a utility electric grid;
providing one or more electric fracturing units at the site, the electric fracturing units comprising an electric motor and a coupled fluid pump, the electric motor operatively associated with the source of electric power;
providing a fracturing fluid for pressurized delivery to a wellbore, wherein the fracturing fluid comprises one or more fluids from the group of linear gelled water, gelled water, gelled oil, slick water, slick oil, poly emulsion, foam/emulsion, liquid CO2, N2, binary fluid and acid;
providing at least two transformer units at a site containing a wellbore to be fractured, wherein the at least two transformer units are housed in one or more mobile substations;
operating the at least two transformer units in parallel to receive power from a utility electric grid and step down the line voltage of the power from the utility electric grid to produce an electric power supply;
providing one or more pump trailers at the site, the pump trailers comprising an electric motor and a coupled fluid pump, the electric motor operatively associated with the electric power supply;
providing a fracturing fluid for pressurized delivery to a wellbore;
operating the electric motor using the electric power supply to pump the fracturing fluid to the wellbore;
providing an electric blender module, the electric blender module comprising a fluid source, a fluid additive source, and a blender tub; and
supplying electric power to the electric blender module from the electric power supply to effect blending of a fluid from the fluid source with a fluid additive from the fluid additive source to generate the fracturing fluid.
