Abstract:
1. A truck-mounted system for injecting a mixture of liquids into a subterranean formation via a well extending from an earth surface into the subterranean formation, the system comprising: a) a truck having a bed and being adapted to support the system and transport the system for use to inject the mixture of liquids via the well into the subterranean formation; b) a first tank positioned on the bed, adapted to contain a quantity of a first liquid and adapted to supply selected quantities of the first liquid to the well; c) a second tank positioned on the bed, adapted to contain a quantity of a second liquid wherein the second liquid is a hydrocarbon-based liquid stream and adapted to supply selected quantities of the second liquid to the well; d) a first pump supported by the bed in fluid communication with the first tank and adapted to pump selected quantities of the first liquid to a selected pressure; e) a second pump supported by the bed in fluid communication with the second tank and adapted to pump selected quantities of the second liquid to a selected pressure; and, f) a third pump supported by the truck bed, in fluid communication with the first pump and the second pump and adapted to pump the mixture of liquids into the well at a pressure higher than the selected pressure.
