ABSTRACT:
A method for servicing a well bore comprises connecting a mixing system to the well bore, controlling the mixing system to produce a material mixture with approximately a desired density, and controlling the mixing system to provide the material mixture to the well bore at approximately a desired volumetric flow rate to service the well bore, wherein the controlling to produce approximately a desired density is independent from the controlling to provide approximately a desired volumetric flow rate.
