  • Publication number: 20230212454
    Abstract: A system for fracturing a subterranean formation that includes a supply of a slurry including at least 5% by weight of particles; a pump coupled to the supply of the slurry; a conduit coupled to the pump and extending into the subterranean formation; and a controller operably coupled to the pump for controlling the operation of the pump. The particles have an average equivalent particle diameter of less than 50 microns.
