Method and apparatus for direct high velocity preparation of completion/workover systems
This patent describes apparatus for direct high velocity preparation of completion/workover systems incorporating a solid particulate matter into a carrier fluid for use in subterranean wells. It comprises: fluid pump means having inlet and outlet members; a conveyor system; a cylindrical mixing housing secured relative to the pump means; an inlet through the cylindrical mixing housing for receipt of the conveyor housing; first fluid flow passages defined through the cylindrical mixing housing and in fluid communication with the inlet members of the pump means; second fluid flow passages defined through the conveyor housing and in relative axial alignment with the first fluid flow passages; a mixing annulus ; means for transmission and receipt of a carrier fluid through the mixing housing and into the mixing annulus; means for activation of the rotable conveyor; and means for introduction of particulate matter into the cylindrical conveyor housing upstream of the means for transmission of the carrier fluid.
