ABSTRACT:
A method of treating a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore utilizing a preformed high solids content slurry is prepared and transported to the wellsite. A portion of the slurry is admixed with a treatment fluid whereby the resultant solids content of the fluid is reduced and the fluid is introduced into a wellbore penetrating the subterranean formation. The high solids content slurry is substantially stable and the particulate does not substantially settle within the fluid prior to admixing with the treatment fluid thereby permitting large quantities of particulate to be rapidly admixed with a treatment fluid.
