Abstract

Systems and methods presented herein generally relate to a method that includes using a low-shear addition system at a centralized facility to add a friction-reducing additive to a fluid to produce friction-reduced hydraulic fracturing slurry. The method also includes conveying the friction-reduced hydraulic fracturing slurry from the centralized facility to at least one fracturing site. The method further includes injecting the friction-reduced hydraulic fracturing slurry into a reservoir to stimulate at least one well at the at least one fracturing site.
