Abstract:
This disclosure presents a method of increasing hydration time of a high concentration gelled fluid used in a fracturing fluid that uses multiple hydration tanks whose volumes are isolated from one another to provide a continuous batch of hydrated gel having improved hydration and viscosity.

Claim (Index 9):
A well fracing system, comprising:\n a first hydration tank having a first interior volume; a second hydration tank having a second interior volume, wherein said second interior volume is isolated from said first interior volume; a water supply tank; a gel mixer; a gel feeder positioned to empty a gel into said gel mixer; a slurry blender system couplable to a wellhead, and including a slurry blender pump and slurry mixer fluidly couplable to said wellhead; a conduit system that fluidly connects said water supply tank and said gel mixer to said first and second hydration tanks and fluidly connects said first and second hydration tanks to said slurry blender system; a fluid bypass conduit system that fluidly connects said water supply tank and said gel mixer to said slurry blender system; fluid valves interposed said conduit system to control a flow of a gel solution from said gel mixer to said first and second hydration tanks.
