Abstract:
An apparatus and method for preparing and delivering a fluid mixture. The apparatus includes a high pressure differential solids feeder assembly and a pressurized mixing apparatus. The feeder assembly is coupled to a proppant storage vessel at ambient pressure and receives a continuous unpressurized proppant output flow from the proppant storage vessel. The feeder assembly is configured to output a continuous pressurized proppant output flow of sufficient mass to achieve continuous operation of the apparatus in an uninterrupted episode for an individual fracture stage. The pressurized mixing apparatus is coupled to the feeder assembly and in fluidic communication with the continuous pressurized proppant output flow and a continuous pressurized fracturing fluid flow. The pressurized mixing apparatus is configured to output a continuous flow of a pressurized fluid mixture of a sufficient volume and mass to achieve continuous operation of the apparatus in an uninterrupted episode for the individual fracture stage.

Claim (Index 2):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the continuous and uninterrupted flow of pressurized proppant output comprises output of a sufficient mass to achieve a continuous and uninterrupted operation of the apparatus for an individual fracture stage, and the output of the continuous and uninterrupted flow of pressurized proppant output is at the mixing pressure.
