Abstract:
A method of fracturing a formation with a fracturing fluid in a wellbore extending into the formation includes pumping a spacer fluid through a spacer fluid channel into the wellbore and pumping a proppant slurry through a proppant slurry channel into the wellbore separately from the spacer fluid. The method further includes combining the spacer fluid and the proppant slurry within the wellbore to create the fracturing fluid with portions comprising varied proppant concentrations and pumping the fracturing fluid with the varied proppant concentrations into the formation.

Claim (Index 17):
The method of  claim 16 , wherein:\n the spacer fluid and the proppant slurry are combined within the wellbore without a mixer to create the fracturing fluid with portions comprising varied proppant concentrations; and the spacer fluid and the proppant slurry are pumped into the wellbore without any pulsing.
