Abstract:
A system and method for hydrating a hydratable material are provided in which a first hydration fluid is heated prior to mixing with the hydratable material to produce a hydration mixture. The hydration mixture is subsequently mixed with a second hydration fluid to produce a well injection fluid having a hydrated hydratable material. Generally, the first hydration fluid will be at about ambient temperature before it is heated and the second hydration fluid will be at about at about ambient temperature when it is mixed with the hydration mixture. Typically, the first hydration fluid will be a minor part of the hydration fluid content of the well injection fluid and the second hydration fluid will be a major part of the hydration fluid content of the well injection fluid.

Claim (Index 10):
The method of  claim 1  wherein:\n the first hydration-fluid stream and the second hydration-fluid stream are introduced through the inlets as a flow of hydration fluid; \n the first temperature and the second temperature are about ambient temperature; \n the third temperature is about 100\u00b0 F. or above; and \n in step (d), the second hydration-fluid stream is at about ambient temperature when combined with the hydration mixture to form the flow of the well injection mixture; \n the method further comprising:\n splitting the flow of hydration aid downstream from the inlet and upstream from the outlet so as to form the first hydration fluid stream and the second hydration-fluid stream, wherein the first hydration-fluid stream and second hydration-fluid stream form a total hydration-fluid flow and the first hydration-fluid stream is about 25% or less by volume of the total hydration-fluid flow and the second hydration-fluid stream is about 75% or more by volume of the total hydration-fluid flow; \n holding the hydration mixture for a period of from 5 seconds to 5 minutes prior to being combined with the second hydration-fluid stream in step (d) so as to prompt hydration of the hydratable material in the hydration mixture; \n \n flowing the flow of injection mixture through a hydration tank for a predetermined time period so as to prompt hydration of the hydratable-material in the flow of well injection mixture; and \n introducing the flow of well injection mixture from the outlet to a subsurface reservoir as part of a reservoir treatment process.
